What if animals could advise writers who write about animals?

"Animal Writes: Prompts and Practices to Guide the Animal Writer's Journey" is a book created out of the enthusiasm for the Writing for Animals teaching program. Midge Raymond and John Yunker are co-authors of the book, and co-founders of the teaching program. Both are co-owners of Ashland Creek Press.

Midge Raymond joins the Exchange to discuss her book and training program.
