On writing...Native American characters [my insights as a Choctaw author]

Whether you are traditional or indie published -- or haven’t decided yet -- I think you’ll walk away with useful information from my interview on Mark Dawson’s Self Publishing Formula podcast.

We discussed terminology for Native people, the difficulty in balancing historical accuracy with the need to put Natives at the forefront of their own stories, and the importance of avoiding stereotypes.

Plus, we talk about writing in general and how I dictate my stories.

Plus, plus, you get to hear me answer an unexpected question about Indian casinos…maybe it's one you've had yourself and didn't know who to ask?

One of my brothers who listened to the episode said it sounded like I could have talk for another hour.

That’s very true, and a big reason why I created my online writing course, Fiction Writing: American Indians. The digital course is 4-hours long, broken into bite-sized videos for authors to consume at their own pace. Discover more about it here.
