  • My New Favorite

    I ran through every episode of VE Schwab’s No Write Way and stumbled upon this must-listen podcasts for SFF readers and writers alike. The cohosts are knowledgeable and appealing, and I appreciate their love for the genre, their excellent guests, and their clear dedication to supporting SFF writers. They also have their own books, which I’ve added to my TBR! Highly recommend :)
