“Writing Excuses is a master class creative writing course broken up into bite sized chunks. Hosted by three best-selling novel writers and one of the internet’s most successful cartoonists, each episode goes surprisingly deep on a topic of craft in a very short amount of time. Their tag line, “Fifteen minutes long because you’re in a hurry and we’re not that smart,” is falsely modest. Each one is packed with useful tidbits from leading spec-fic authors.
Essentially secrets of the pros for those struggling to make it, Writing Excuses is on its tenth season and has a huge back catalog covering a wide variety of writing related subjects. The current season has been examining the process of creating a book from outline all the way to revision.
In addition to being useful, this podcast is also surprisingly entertaining. The four hosts have an excellent rapport with one another, and they also have a great stage presence. They also have frequent guest authors for more perspective.
In addition to the topic, each episode ends with a writing exercise or homework assignment to further illustrate the lesson.
Writing Excuses is like the greatest creative writing course you never took, taught by a quartet of engaging experts. If you are looking for an informative writing podcast, this one should be at the top of your list.”

“I enjoy the podcast, it is informative and useful for fiction writer hobbyists like myself. However, Mary is incredibly annoying. The hosts need to keep the discussion focused on writing given the length of the episodes, but Mary takes every opportunity to slide in comments about social justice...”Read full review »
