   From Poetry to Novel: How Different Forms Teach Us Different Truths ft Emma Wells

   What happens when a writer moves from the intimacy of poetry to the limitless world of the novel? In this episode of the Wingless Dreamer Podcast, we sit down with writer Emma Wells to explore how poetry, flash fiction, short stories, and novels reveal different kinds of truth. From the discipline of saying more with fewer words to the surprises of writing her sixth novel, Emma shares how motherhood, lived experience, literary community, and years of writing have shaped her voice. We also dive into the messy, magical reality of writing—from characters taking over the plot to the eternal battle with Chapter One—and discover why sometimes the story knows where it’s going before the writer does. Tune in for an honest, thoughtful, and wonderfully writerly conversation about finding your voice, trusting the process, and letting words evolve with you. 🎙️ Emma's substack: https://dipitylitmag.substack.com/p/meet-emma-wells-dipity-community Join Wingless Dreamer Literary Community today!
