307. Elise Stephens the Amazing Use of Metaphors and Similes in Storytelling

Elise Stephens credits much of her storytelling influence to a lifelong love of theater and childhood globetrotting. Her work focuses on themes of family, memory, and finding hope after a devastating loss. I originally met her when she won the Writers of the Future competition in 2018 with her short story “Untrained Luck” appearing in Writers of the Future Vol 35. When I learned of her book, “Forecast,” her invitation to this podcast was assured. Her fiction prose is so easy to read and her sense of character is so authentic. Her’s was a book I greedily devoured. Learn more about Elise at www.elisestephens.com/
