CHILDREN'S AUTHOR: Josh Allen

In this episode, I talk with Josh Allen, English professor and the author of two collections of scary stories for kids. Josh's love of the spooky started when he was kid, watching all of The Twilight Zone episodes with his dad. But it wasn't until much later in his life that he realized writing spooky stories was what he wanted to do as part of his career. Now, Josh teaches creative writing at BYUI and continues to write scary stories for middle-grade readers. We talk about why reading scary stories can be good for kids and why fiction is good for all us. Josh shares great advice for anyone who wants to write and for everyone looking for their life's work.
