This week on Writing Forward, I’m joined by Milwaukee novelist Lauren Fox, whose novel “Send for Me” was an instant New York Times bestseller and a Read With Jenna book club pick. We talk about turning her family’s Holocaust history into fiction, why even glowing reviews can rattle a writer’s confidence, and the Milwaukee writing community that’s helped sustain her career.

Sometimes the hardest part of writing is letting go of your ideas about what kind of writer you are. Chad Harbach on the long, sometimes scary process of writing The Brightness — and how it ultimately changed his relationship to his work. Hear our full conversation, recorded live at the Wisconsin Book Festival, wherever you get your podcasts. 09 Nov 2026

You can take the writer out of Wisconsin… Chad Harbach hasn’t lived in his hometown of Racine since he was 28. But as he explains here, no other place has ever felt quite as familiar — or inspired him in quite the same way. Hear more from our conversation with Chad, recorded live at the Wisconsin Book Festival, on the latest episode of Writing Forward. Available wherever you get podcasts. 06 Nov 2026

Our first-ever LIVE episode is here! 🎙️ This week on Writing Forward, we’re joined by Racine native Chad Harbach, author of the beloved bestseller The Art of Fielding, for a special conversation recorded at the Wisconsin Book Festival in Madison. With his long-awaited new novel, The Brightness, now out in the world, Chad reflects on the very different experiences of writing a debut and following up a literary sensation, how fatherhood changed his writing habits, and the unlikely place where he finally cracked a crucial scene in his new book. Along the way, we talk about the enduring appeal of campus novels, the changing economics of publishing, and the joys of writing when everything clicks. A huge thank-you to Chad, @wibookfest, and everyone who joined us for such a memorable evening. Listen now at the link in bio! 04 Nov 2026

Michael Perry has some thoughts about how Carhartt went from workwear to fashion statement. But as a self-described grumpy roughneck who occasionally finds himself rubbing elbows with the literary elite, he’s also willing to acknowledge a certain irony. Hear more from Michael on the latest episode of Writing Forward, available at the link in bio. 03 Nov 2026

Before he became a New York Times bestselling author, Michael Perry was hustling to sell cassette tapes of his stories at Kwik Trips around northwestern Wisconsin. It wasn’t glamorous, but it bought him something invaluable: time to write. Hear more about Michael’s unconventional path to making a living as a writer on the latest episode of Writing Forward. Listen at the link in bio. 02 Nov 2026

Talk about a fall classic! We had such a good time welcoming Chad Harbach back to Wisconsin last night for a live event with @wibookfest. We talked all things Westish (and Midwest-ish), including Chad’s remarkable new novel, The Brightness, his relationship with Wisconsin, and the challenge of following up such a beloved debut. Getting to watch the Brewers win their first-ever World Series championship with Chad afterward was the cherry on top. Catch our conversation, recorded live at the Wisconsin Book Festival, next Wednesday wherever you get podcasts. 29 Oct 2026

Michael Perry may be blue collar as writers go, but his brothers might have something to say about that. This week on Writing Forward, the bestselling author and humorist reflects on his working-class roots, his family’s relationship to hard work, and the relative luxury of making a cup of coffee and trying to write beautiful sentences. Listen to the full conversation at the link in bio. 29 Oct 2026

From selling homemade cassette tapes at Kwik Trip to publishing more than 25 books, Michael Perry has built one of the most distinctive writing careers in Wisconsin. This week on Writing Forward, the New York Times bestselling author and humorist joins us to talk about the unlikely path that led him from nursing to writing, the sometimes uneasy relationship between his blue-collar roots and literary success, and what his father’s approach to farming taught him about making a living as a writer. Plus, the surprising reason he once turned down an invitation to appear on Oprah. Listen now at the link in bio. 28 Oct 2026

We are thrilled to welcome Chad Harbach to the #WIBookFest stage for THE BRIGHTNESS.

As if this baseball postseason couldn’t get any better, I’ll be in conversation with Wisconsin’s own Chad Harbach Wednesday night about his new novel, “The Brightness”! Set several years after the events of “The Art of Fielding,” “The Brightness” is a long-awaited follow-up to Harbach’s acclaimed debut. The Wisconsin Book Festival’s final event of 2026 takes place Wednesday from 6–7 p.m. at Madison’s Central Library, and everyone who attends will receive a FREE, pre-signed hardcover copy of the book. Admission is free, too! The conversation will also be recorded for a future episode of @writingforward. Hope to see you there! 26 Oct 2026

Before becoming a novelist, Carol Dunbar spent years working as an actor in Minneapolis. But what happens when you realize the art form you’ve devoted your life to might not be the one you’re meant to pursue?
