BTN #167 – Marcus Kliewer – Write It, Post It

from Better Than Not · host Doug Gardham

In this episode of Better Than Not, I had the distinct pleasure and privilege of speaking with author Marcus Kliewer, who shared his journey from stop-motion animator to bestselling author. We discussed how his distinctive metaphors and storytelling techniques create such immersive worlds for readers. Marcus spoke about how film and music shape creative work. We also explored his process, his influences, and what writing demands that filmmaking does not. Pick up We Used to Live Here and The Caretaker, and get ready for Please Remain Seated this September. To learn more about Marcus, find him on Instagram at @marcus_kliewer, on Reddit at r/oldhousearchive, or at www.oldhousearchive.net.
