Author Your Dream Podcast on Building a Story Frame
I had a lovely conversation with host Kenny MacKay: When Matty Dalrymple created the idea of the story frame, she didn’t want it to be just another name for an outline. For some, an outline is rigid, whereas the story frame feels a little more organic. This frame gives an author a clear picture of the overarching story and gives you something to hang everything else on.

Building Your Platform through Podcasting as a Host or Guest at the Main Line / Wilmington-Chadds Ford Writers Group
Podcasting--as a host or as a guest--is one of the fastest growing way for writers to build their platforms, and for good reason. “Getting in someone’s head” through audio is one of the most intimate connections you can establish, and a well-planned and well-executed episode or guest appearance can help you build not only a community of listeners but also of fellow writers (not to mention the possibility, as a host, of earning some money).

The Write Approach Podcast: Using a Framework to Write Your Novel with Matty Dalrymple
I talk with J. W. Judge and Barbara Hinske about using a frame to aid you in writing your novel. We distinguish a framework from a conventional outline and talk about how it can benefit both plotters and discovery writers. I give personal illustrations of what prompted the need for developing a frame for my own writing and how it has benefited me.

The Alliance of Independent Authors AskALLi Team - How to Sell Short Fiction as an Indie Author

In this post, Mark Leslie Lefebvre and I (both happy ALLi members) discuss how to sell short fiction as an indie author.

Guest on GSMC Book Review Podcast - The Golden State Media Concepts - Book Review Podcast gives SNAKES & LADDERS 5 stars: "Dalrymple's writing is fast-paced and compelling and her characters are human and easy to relate to. The main character, Lizzy, is both mature beyond her years but also sheltered and naive about much of life, which makes her even more interesting as she attempts to deal with the ability she has. I found her compelling, engaging, smart, and fascinating and can't wait to read more of her story."
