Listen to this.
I owe much of what I know about writing to this podcast. I have a PhD in YA literature but I am new to actually writing fiction and needed help from people who take their audience seriously, take their material seriously, and know their craft to a level of expertise I can respect. I needed them to respect me, as a listener, and found what I was looking for in spades. Each episode also manages to fit in humour, fun and laughs! Guests are experts who are fascinating and engaging. The format is punchy and yet allows for depth of topic. If they run out of time, they make another episode! I have been introduced to other formats, genres and styles and each time my writer’s world widens. They tackle the hard parts of writing, current issues, and mental health with a gentle hand, yet never hold back. Follow them all on Twitter too, because it’s fun 😁. Thanks, and please don’t stop recording!

This show is concise and packed with good advice. One of my absolute favourites. Good sound quality, good structure, great hosts. Some podcasts feel like they’re wasting my time with endless, unstructured rambling. This podcast never does that. Even if the episodes are short, they have a...Read full review »
