In this episode we sit down with Dan Swanson, author of Benjamin's Journey: An Appalachian Memoir, and author Victoria Fletcher, owner of Hootbooks Publishing and president of the Appalachian Authors Guild to discuss their thoughts on Hillbilly Elegy, the powerful themes of Appalachian writers, and promoting our region through their work. They also discuss the benefits of being a member of the guild.
You can find Dan's memoir on Amazon.
