  • Simply the best

    Easily the best podcast out there about writing. Their backlog of episodes is amazing. The hosts are super likable and pull some great conversation out of their guests. I listen to a number of writing podcasts, but this one clears all of them. This show is wildly underrated. I almost never see it recommended, but I am recommending it to you right now!

  • Very Interesting Guests!

    I discovered this podcast by accident, and I keep listening because every guest is fascinating. I especially enjoyed the interview with a somewhat reluctant David Mamet. Amazingly talented and productive considering says he is uneducated.

  • An Essential Podcast

    An avid reader and writer across genres, I never miss an episode of this essential pod. The hosts are not only well-read and well-prepared, but they’re also immensely likable. Thanks to them, I continue to expand my skills and my TBR; moreover, as an American, I appreciate their insights into UK fiction. Bravo!

Adventures in Publishing-Land: The "Human Authored" Badge: Can a Logo Save Publishing? Plus - Grammarly Sued
Q: What happens if a member finds their book used to train a model without consent?
The SOA has advisors and a general counsel; members are guided but must make their own informed decisions, and the organization can provide information and support.
Adventures in Publishing-Land: The "Human Authored" Badge: Can a Logo Save Publishing? Plus - Grammarly Sued
Q: How does the non-member audience access information or support?
The SOA provides public information on their website, with resources about the Anthropic case and AI-related issues, and encourages non-members to follow up individually.
Adventures in Publishing-Land: The "Human Authored" Badge: Can a Logo Save Publishing? Plus - Grammarly Sued
Q: Anna, what is the roadmap to extend the scheme beyond SOA members to the wider community?
Opening to members first gives control and allows a measure of demand, with a plan to expand later, possibly with a small admin charge.
Ep. 256 - Sydney Amanuel on What Tabletop RPGs Teach Us About Storytelling
Q: For listeners new to tabletop RPGs, how would you explain what a tabletop RPG is?
Sydney describes it as a game where dice determine outcomes, but most of the storytelling happens through role-play and collaborative storytelling, guided by a game master.
Ep. 255 - TM Logan on Selling 3m Thrillers, TV Adaptations & the Pressure of Success
Q: What inspired your book, The Weekend?
The inspiration for some of it came from one of my favourite thrillers, A Simple Plan by Scott Smith.
