Interview with Author Angela Grout

Catching Stories with Theresa Chamberland

June 28, 2023

Angela Grout, author and host of yWrite, interviewed me at Agawam Media’s Studio 954. During our 30-minute conversation, we talked about how I help people record their stories at StoryCatcher Studios and in my writing classes at Springfield Museums. We talked about the benefits of taking writing classes, our favorite books on writing, and more.

In this interview, I recommend the following books:

• Poet Warrior: A Memoir by Joy Harjo, first Native American to serve as a U.S. poet laureate.

• Inheritance: A Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity, and Love by Dani Shapiro

• On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King
