Ep 451 | Wine, Query Letters, Managing Doubt, and More Wine!

Drinking With Authors | Featuring Amy L. Bernstein

Guest: Amy L. Bernstein has a fear of spiders that's genuinely a full-blown phobia, used to be a singer (classical music) until my vocal chords stopped cooperating, doesn’t have a proper home town because I grew up in several of the original 13 colonies.

Author of Tent City: a contemporary dystopian family saga that places ordinary citizens in extraordinary circumstances, precipitated by dire economic disruption. As the American town of Willing crumbles under a collapsing economy, hundreds seek refuge in the dense "city" of tents that spring up in the Kings' big backyard, setting the once-thriving King family on a collision course with disillusionment, disaster, and for some, a new and hopeful beginning. This family saga revolves around trust and betrayal, love and loyalty, and the will to survive the breakdown of the American Dream.

Drink of Choice: I drink so much white wine, somebody should name a grape after me. Chardonnay and sauvignon blanc may sound boring to you, but they are my nightly salvation. If we talk on a warm night, rosé will be on the menu

Amy L. Bernstein writes award-winning fiction and nonfiction that lets readers feel while making them to think. As the author of six novels and a book of inspiration for creatives called Wrangling the Doubt Monster, Amy brings a compassionate and insightful voice to writers' conferences around the country. A former journalist, Amy also works as a book coach, helping nonfiction authors craft compelling book proposals.
