Chatting with the Writers of the Writers Who Read Podcast
This time on the Rocky Mountain Writer podcast, we get to know the folks behind the Writers Who Read podcast \u2014 Gary McBride, Mira Landry, and Whitney Pinion.

Gary McBride founded the\xa0Writers Who Read\xa0novel study group back in August of 2018. After meeting at the Boulder Book Store, the group moved to the Boulder Public Library in 2019 after its adoption as part of the\xa0Boulder Writers Alliance.
Gary McBride lives just outside of Boulder with his wife Deb and their cats Wallace and Vincenzo. A fourth-generation Denverite, Gary has visited over 70 countries, worked in more than 50 of them, and lived for over a decade in Europe and Southeast Asia. Gary has written a reference guide for Writers Who Read, entitled\xa0Literary Forensics, which will be published in 2024.

Born and raised in British Columbia, Mira Landry now resides in Colorado with her husband. She has a Creative Writing Certificate from Simon Fraser University, and works both as an associate literary agent at\xa0Corvisiero Literary Agency\xa0and as a wedding and portrait photographer.
She serves on the board of directors for\xa0Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers, and when not writing, she can be found frolicking on the high peaks of the Rockies or knitting sweaters that likely won\u2019t fit anyone properly.

Whitney Pinion fell in love with books when her parents gave her a set of mystery-adventure stories in which she and her cousins and friends were the main characters. She wrote poetry as a kid\u2014and in college\u2014where she studied literature and earned a BA in English. After working her way up from editorial assistant to magazine editor at a publishing company in Washington, DC, she and her husband moved to the Bay Area, where she further honed her writing and editing skills at a San Francisco PR firm. The drive to write more meaningful stories led her back to school, where she earned a Master\u2019s in English and Creative Writing.\xa0 Whitney has written a collection of short stories and is working on a novel. When she isn\u2019t reading or writing, she\u2019s hiking with her family in the stunning Colorado mountains, trying out new recipes (like cocktails for the next Writers Who Read podcast), and traveling. She lives with her husband and son in Boulder.
