Caroline Leavitt is not just a brilliant novelist. She’s also one of the most generous writers around. She and Jenna Blum founded A Mighty Blaze as a rising tide to lift the boats of other writers, readers, and booksellers, and with their team of remarkable volunteers, they’re doing great things.

I sat down with Caroline for an interview this week, and we had a lot of fun talking about Small Animals Caught in Traps and Chasing Alaska, and about the writing life in general. I’m grateful to Caroline for the opportunity.

Watch it on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ho36FRIDgws, and while you’re there, subscribe to the Blaze and browse through other episodes. So many good writers, so many good interviews.
