- A relaxed, unpretentious, intelligent conversation about writing. Well worth it.
Tom Occhipinti isn't currently churning out any more podcast episodes, but what there is here is extremely useful. I've listened to them over the years, and come back to them from time to time. more

United States6 years ago - Need more Tom!
Great podcast. Takes a straight forward “how to write” style in the art of writing for all levels. Great insights on writing dialogue, internal/external conflict, setting, characters and so much more. Leans more to writing fiction. Only wish there was more! Come on Tom, it’s been a decade, get back on the horse!
Apple Podcasts5GkirkiUnited States6 years ago - Found my mentor
Seriously. I’m fairly new to this podcast thing and didn’t know quite what to expect from a podcast specific to writing. I have only listened to a few episodes, but have already gathered so much useful knowledge and inspiration. Each episode is packed with lessons, but rather than feeling like I’m in a classroom, it’s more like chatting with a neighbor. I’m really loving Tom’s style! On another note in case Tom is reading... I’d buy the book about the cabin Tom, I really would! Thanks for shar... more
Apple Podcasts5Mday13United States6 years ago - Evergreen Writing Wisdom
This podcast long ago ceased production, which is an awful shame. But before he quit, Tom Occhipinti recorded some superb lessons on writing good fiction. He stopped before self-publishing became a real option for writers, which is a shame. more
Apple Podcasts5audiophillyUnited States9 years ago - Inspirational, practical, useful
Tom knows and articulates the craft very clearly and in a way that moves you to sit your bum down and get writing. I like how he eases you through concepts, exemplifies through his own writing-in-progress, and hones the point home with his direct (ok, New York) speaking style. I could do without the music, or would like it better shortened and just cut to the chase. I’ve read many books on writing over many years of my life and my opinion is that Tom’s teachings are well worth hearing by both th... more
