“Hear how her parents’ dream house finally became reality—in the pages of Carolyn’s debut novel. We discuss the argument in favor of getting an MFA in Creative Writing, how publishing on her own does not necessarily mean not ever pursuing a traditional deal, how personal appearances have proved to be her best sales tool, and how her ritual of reading a chapter from a craft book before starting her writing time helps to keep her immersed in the world of story.”
VoyageBaltimore (July 28, 2025) features authors from DC, Maryland, and Virginia region in “Hidden Gems: Local Businesses & Creatives.” Read “Conversations With Carolyn McBride.”
