I would love to be a guest on this podcast! I love that’s it’s short and straight to the point. My latest book is still number one on Amazon. How to Teach Your Children About Racism. Looking forward to coming on. ❤️

This podcast is so informative & inspiring. Always makes my day!

I only discovered this podcast this month, and it has proven to be my favourite podcast to start the day. I find it inspiring to get back into my personal writing after having been a fulltime editor/content creator for 13 years which has been quite demanding and left no writer’s fuel left for my...Read full review »

The best of sponsor advertising coupled with a super host, produced as good as the material they talk about and insightful onto the world of writing

Excellent guest list, adept interviews (no cringing here), clean production quality. This podcast is absolutely wonderful... Makes me wish for 20 minutes instead of 10. Thank you! PS. Dear NHPR, I am SO SORRY to hear this podcast has ended! Best of luck in all you do, and please don’t forget “us...Read full review »

This show is like music to my ears. An aspiring writer will find a lot of helpful content. But there is a lot of interesting stuff for others, too. Personal experiences of people who write are expressed so openly and honestly.

Very short, easy to listen to, great variety of authors. One of my favorites!

I cannot reccomend this podcast enough. I find these talks so inspiring, I often start my writings sessions after giving a quick listen or relisten to an episode. I just love the diversity of authors represented throughout all the episodes and of course Virginia Prescott who is not only my...Read full review »

Love listening to the 10-Minute Writer’s Workshop before I write. Inspiring and short, leaves me time to write myself. Loved the Louise Penney interview—I’m a mystery writer and have lately been intrigued by her books. Keep up the good work!!

This podcast nestles me into a quiet corner of kindred spirituality, allowing a tapping into my own vein of authenticity amidst our cacophonous society. Ever the late bloomer in nearly all aspects, these conversations do wonders for this aspiring writer with their honesty and diversity. I never...Read full review »

This podcast juices me up on every episode. Wish it came out more frequently, meaning daily. Writers from all levels must give this a listen!
sazerfilms via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/24/17
Practical, insightful peek inside the life and tactics of our greatest writers. I take it all to heart, then to the page. Love it!
R&D_Russell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/25/17
I stockpile several episodes of 10MWW to listen to at once. I stop everything and pay attention to every word spoken. Each time a writer answers a question the same way I would, a little voice in the back of my mind yells out 'Hey, they're like me!'. I love hearing that these...Read full review »
Meeeetoday via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/17
I find these short Q & A sessions a source of tremendous inspiration as a writer and identify with much of what is said in them as an editor and writing coach. If you are working on a novel or nonfiction book, you should have this podcast set up to listen to every time you are in your car. If...Read full review »

It both inspires me to, and helps me put off writing
Phimberley via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/27/17
I really love this podcast. I recently began writing a book about my work (more out of necessity than a desire to be a "writer"), and I've been delighted and amazed by how different each of these writers approach his/her craft - their different habits and distractions. Indeed,...Read full review »
emiliciousness via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/02/17
I enjoy the format of this short and sweet podcast. I anxiously await new episodes to be released, and look forward to the answers each unique author gives for the same set of great questions. It's engaging and inspires me to write more often. I recognize many authors but have learned about...Read full review »
Buzz3827 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/17
Am inspired every time i listen, which is often more than once a day. Whether the writers being interviewed have the exact same advice as each other or the exact opposite, the insight is invaluable. Feeling connected to a gigantic consortium even as I sit alone with my paper and pen and all my...Read full review »

I just discovered this podcast and I look forward to each and every 10 minutes of it. Thank you. You are just what I needed.
morrienorman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/17
This is a great podcast for writers and avid readers alike. Each episode is very short (10 minutes, obviously!), and follows a tidy format: Host Virginia Prescott starts by asking the guest writer what's harder, first or last sentences. From there the interview takes shape organically, if at...Read full review »
livrstrat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/17
I love to listen to this while making lunch after a long morning of writing. It re inspires me. I also love the fact that, although they interview a lot of *WRITERS*-- Pulitzer Prize winners, National Book Award winners . . . You know *WRITERS*, they also interview writers -- genre writers,...Read full review »

Fantastic, bite-sized podcast. Includes some great insights on the creative process from some of my favorite authors. An invaluable resource for writers of all stripes.

All professional all the time. Hear successful writers reveal some nuts & bolts of how they create.
NJ Babe2222 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/17
I recently discovered the 10 minute writer's workshop and it's been keeping me company during my daily workouts. I don't feel the pain of squats anymore; I'm too busy listening to Emma Donoghue or Jodi Picoult or any of the other brilliant writers on the show. Such writers are...Read full review »

Bite-sized, entertaining and inspiring!
Bibulous52 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/27/17
This podcast is the ideal dose of inspiration for writers. The interesting and encouraging interviews offer sound bits of writing wisdom. I also love the length. They're short, so don't distract too much from writing itself. I only wish there were more episodes!Read full review »
JoyceElizabethN via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/12/17
I love everything about the show, from the caliber of the guests to the quality of the questions, to the fact that there is no wasted time at all. I love that the guests have such diverse answers - there is no one way to write! Thanks for putting together such a quality podcast.
BooneLady via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/09/17
Don't be fooled by the name, this podcast isn't just for writers. It's inspiring to hear how creative people make stuff. Really great guests offering great insight. It's inspirational.Read full review »

I'm so glad this simple but inclusive podcast was recommended to me by a writer friend. Quick, inspiring, entertaining; more episodes please!Read full review »
Podey26 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/12/16
With the same handful of questions asked in each episode, this podcast will never go as in-depth as I would prefer, and it lacks the discursive style of podcasts I truly love. The title is also a bit of a misnomer since there aren't really any elements of a writing workshop. It's more...Read full review »

I absolutely love it. Engaging host, encouragement from the pros, and a reminder that we're all humans working at this. What more could a writer, or would be writer, ask for in a podcast? Thank you NHPR!Read full review »

Great to hear how other artists’ work.
ArtGirlSAH via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/09/16
A great podcast for aspiring writers. Quick, easy-to-listen to, and fun. Hear how professional writers all tackjle the process of writing, but in a fun and informative way. As a writer, I often listen to hear that famous authors have similar processes to me, which is very reassuring! I highly...Read full review »

While each episode has the same questions, each speaker has something different to say. This information can be helpful for any writer and especially aspiring writers. These interviews are short and sweet, easy to listen to, and I will wait in excitement for each new episode.
riffleca via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/20/16
The advice given on each episode is perfect for writers and creative people in general. Worth your time!
Cmb12b via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/16
Each episode is a perfect little bite-sized piece of wisdom and inspiration for writers. I love listening to one of these in the morning as I sip my coffee and get ready to start my day.
LovettOrLeaveIt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/13/16
Loving this podcast! It's quick and funny and encouraging to hear that even established writers struggle with distraction and confidence and sabotaging thoughts. Inspiring for any creative person. We all get knocked down and have to learn to get back up.Read full review »

Same questions without relevance to the particular author over and over again

I have enjoyed this podcast and look forward to each new podcast!
whatlolawants via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/08/16
Any writer or would-be writer would benefit from listening to this podcast. There's no wrong way to write, the only right way is your own way. Just take it from these published authors who all differ so much from one another in their methods and each get distracted by emails. These 10 minute...Read full review »
Silentplanet via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/16
I feel like I am listening to The Actors Studio when I hear this 'cast. I mean this in the nicest way. It matters that we hear the writers' voices in every sense. I love the entreaty to "be gentle with your characters and don't judge them". I love "letting the unconscious...Read full review »
Mogall7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/16
I love these short interviews that give us insights into each writer's process. Every writer is different, and NHPR does a great job of selecting a variety of writers from different genres. The length of the podcast is perfect--like a little snack...or a Costco sample that keeps us wanting...Read full review »
