Your Best Story
“YOUR BEST STORY” is a light and reflective conversational podcast created to encourage open discussion about editing in the Caribbean. It focuses Caribbean writers and editors across all genres and gives a casual yet detailed analysis of the editing practice. Every week we dive into a new story from around the world about what helps to build a strong story. Hear fresh takes on classic writing myths, patterns and habits and learn about common approaches to creating the perfect story, from the mug of a Caribbean literary nerd. Because writing is not formulaic, each discussion will reveal different and varied approaches to the same outcome - Your Best Story.
