KidLit Craft Podcast Hosts Anne-Marie Strohman and Erin Nuttall
KidLit Craft Podcast - Deep Dive into Mentor Texts

At KidLit Craft, we look at mentor texts to figure out the mechanics of how writers do what they do, so we can improve our writing.

In each season of the KidLit Craft Podcast, co-hosts Anne-Marie Strohman and Erin Nuttall do a season-long deep dive into one novel.

We can't wait to nerd out with you!

Recommended Listening Experience

The season is intended to be listened to start to finish, though you can pop in for whatever topics spark your interest. We encourage you to listen in order, and read along as you can.

For Season One, the first three episodes make the most sense in order and focus on the first chapter. After that we talk about the book as a whole by topic. Season 2 has spoilers from the start.
