We need to milk this evidence for all its juice!” Whereas Nick would smile politely and mutter: “Just drive, Alex. For the love of god, stop mixing metaphors and drive. ” I appreciate both these guys so much I just became a supporter on Patreon.

Apple Podcasts5TappingtenorUnited States5 years ago - A MUST listen for new writers!
I feel like I owe Nick and Alex my first born as repayment for all the incredible advice they’ve dispensed. They are terrific at demystifying this business. “Breaking in” can happen any number of ways, but Paper Team provides soooo many helpful tips for once you’re actually HERE. The 101 series was especially helpful! All of their interviews are also funny and informative, and not just jaded types bemoaning things. I’m just wrapping up my very first room as a Staff Writer, and I owe a big THANK ... more
