About Us

We are The Society of Literacy and Bananas! Association ~ a teen writing group that began in Kat!e's basement. One day, Kat!e, Canada, and Tina realized that their favorite thing to do when they all got together was write -- and a lot of their friends felt the same. One thing led to another, and now we have bi-weekly meetings where we write, talk about writing, eat snacks, and generally goof off.

One meeting, we all sat down to listen to Brandon Sanderson, Howard Taylor, and Dan Wells's podcast Writing Excuses, and it occurred to us that we had enough to say to fill a podcast. And, though Writing Excuses does an AMAZING job at giving us advice on writing, we figured it would be cool to do a show from a teen viewpoint.

A few months later (hey, we're teens, we're easily distracted), Kat!e, Canada, and Tina sat down to record the first episode. Hooray!

Oh, and We have to give a HUGE shout-out to Kat!e's mother, Whit Larson, who has helped with ... well, everything, not to mention putting up with us hanging out in her basement.
