About

Let's Deconstruct a Story: A podcast for the story nerds! Aspiring writers need to understand the components of a good story before they can write one. Choices of POV, plot, setting, and tone are crucial. In each episode, I'll be interviewing a writer about one of their own stories, which will be available for listeners to read for free on my website before they listen. www.kellyfordon.substack.com and letsdeconstructastory.substack.com letsdeconstructastory.substack.com
