“There are a lot of great writing tips, particularly in series 11 on elemental genre. At a structural level, that series is incredibly helpful for anyone trying to sort out what they are trying to acccomplish with their work. Five stars for that series and for the earlier content, too.
Over the past year or so, though, Howard's endless anecdotes, which are really just cocky stories about how amazing his ideas always are, have overshadowed actual structural writing advice. If you don't read his books, you don't know what he's talking about, you don't care, and you can't actually take his point. It's tediouss and I find myself turning off the podcast halfway throug if he gets going.
Plenty of people seem to complain about Mary's take on fairly and accurately representing disadvantaged groups, but she's speaking to issues that are relevant within the publishing world. Write better characters, gain a wider audience, get a better publishing deal, sell more books. This is actually advice that will make you into a better writer. And she's capable of abstracting her individual experiences into tips on how to tackle writing problems that other author's might face. Five stars to her for bringing attention to how to be a better writer and a better human.”Read full review »

“A few years ago, I would have given this podcast 5 stars. But in recent seasons, I think due to the podcaster’s efforts to try new things, the topics have drifted far from the ones that interested me more in the first 9-ish seasons. The topics have become more atomized, the proliferation of...”Read full review »

“Love the podcast but it's crashing my phone when it ends one podcast and starts the next one. I saw other commenters saying the same thing. Only does this with writing excuses.”Read full review »
