Writers of Cleveland Series Interviews Local Literary Talent

Through May 25 on Instagram

Ever wonder what real authors go through to create their plays, poems, fiction, comic novels and photo journalism?

In the new Writers of Cleveland series, former Lakewood resident and noted author and publisher Dana McSwain interviews area authors on her Instagram, releasing one interview every Tuesday for the next couple of months. McSwain, the author of Roseneath and the Winter Tales series, started Webb House Publishing in order to “specialize in debut writers and new voices, books that take chances and don’t fit neatly into a specific genre,” and initiated the Writer’s of Cleveland series to bring focus to local literary talent.

Each author explains how the Cleveland region may have influenced them, and reveals their most recent work, and their first line, as well as their inspiration. Other areas the interviews explore include examining how authors research their works, what success means to them, if they’ve been on any literary pilgrimages, and if they believe in writer’s block.
