I studied English in college and have wanted to have a career as a writer. This podcast is informative. I’m glad I found it.
Had no idea who the host was, wasn’t really interested in the topic, but wow! This is very well produced, edited and thoughtful podcast. I wish I could give it six stars. Every episode makes me evaluate my own writing in different ways, not even from book writing but just in general! Keep up the great work! Thank you for making such great content!
I love this concept, can’t wait to have a peak behind the scenes of the writing process.
