Readers and writers will find inspiration in a new podcast. StoryKind is hosted by KATE DICAMILLO and KELLY YANG. Both are best-selling children’s book authors. They wanted to make a podcast about how much fun storytelling can be.

StoryKind shares writing tips. For example: “You might want to keep a notebook just for you,” DiCamillo told TFK. The podcast also answers listeners’ questions. And the authors chat with each other. So StoryKind is about friendship, too. Listeners can hear how nice it is to “share all of your hopes and dreams and worries and doubts,” Yang says.
