  • Great for getting the creative juices flowing

    Great group to bounce off ideas, laugh, and learn. These writers are sharp, quick-witted, and entertaining.

    If you want a writing partner or just get motivated to write new material this is the group you should be after. Easily one of my favourite listens of the week in terms of the podcast, but the higher tier groups gives you access to zoom meetings etc which is great.
