    ---

    Today Emily Costa joins us on Salt Lake Dirt. We dive into her collection Girl on Girl: Stories, exploring the intricate dynamics of female relationships and the creative journey that led to this compelling work.

    Emily shares the evolution of her writing process, from her early days in an MFA program to the moment of realization that her stories about the multifaceted relationships between girls had coalesced into a thematic collection. We discuss the significance of titles in short stories, the challenges of revising, and the satisfaction of crafting lines that resonate deeply with readers.

    In this episode, we also explore the blend of humor and melancholy in Emily's stories, focusing on memorable pieces like "Ethan Marino," which artfully captures the bittersweet emotions surrounding a ten-year high school reunion. Emily opens up about her influences, including her love for horror films and the impact of her father's involvement in low-budget 80s horror movies on her creative outlook.

    Thanks for listening!
