414: The Travel Novel, the Unreliable Narrator, and Forgotten Slices of History - Interview

Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing Scott Gates. We'll be talking about his novel, Gone, the Redeemer.  Scott Gates is the author of Hard Road South, published by Blue Ink Press. He is a magazine editor and a second-generation communicator for rural electric cooperatives. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications from Auburn University and a Master of Arts degree in Journalism from the University of Colorado in Boulder. Scott grew up in Montgomery, Alabama, and currently lives in North Carolina with his wife and three kids, where he enjoys a slower pace of life and reliable barbecue options. He and his brother share perspectives on Southern culture at incidentalist.com. You can find him on his website or follow him on Facebook and Instagram.   In this episode Scott Gates and I discuss: Truth in a first-person narrative, especially when the protagonist is unreliable. The traditions of travel literature and including Classical structures in modern literature. How to balance writing and the research rabbit hole so you can maintain your momentum. Plus, his #1 tip for writers. For more info and show notes: diymfa.com/414
