Storytellers Unplugged is a blog published by a group of thirty authors, editors, booksellers, and publishing professionals who want to share their love of writing and "behind the scenes" tips with readers who are also interested in the magic of writing. Each day of the month a different columnist will contribute a post - some will be serious, some will be funny, but all are informative.   

Frank Wydra's posts to SU have evolved into a set of conversations between a cadre of dead authors (Mary Shelley, Edgar Allen Poe, Papa Hemingway, and Bram Stoker) and other invited guests (Charles dickens, Sam Clemens, Sylvia Plath, and the like).  The subjects the discuss all deal with aspects of writing and the writing life.
