  • Thoughtful and articulate

    Rhonda Douglas guides a writer through the oft times difficult journey of birthing a novel with grace, intelligence, and insight. She asks her guests questions in a way that produces illuminating answers and never interrupts them to interject her opinions. While I’ve never worked with her, she is on the top of my list of people I’d like to be coached by because not only is she really smart and knows so much about writing, but she’s also gentle and soothing.

  • Love It 📝

    This is excellent for writers.

    Lots of information given on all aspects of writing and publishing, so it’s well worth a listen.

    Just have a pen and paper handy for all the note taking you’ll do.

    Rhonda is an engaging host for both solo and guest episodes.

    It’s encouraging to hear how many writers have the same issues and thoughts about their work, especially when it’s such a lonely profession.

    It’s a fab podcast. 💜

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Writing a Novel in a Busy Life, with Nadia Bozak
Q: How did climate change factor into this novel?
Bozak drew on experience living without air conditioning and considered how heat can affect mental health and decision-making, while also exploring how love, connection, and other human impulses continue amid a climate crisis.
Writing a Novel in a Busy Life, with Nadia Bozak
Q: How did you fit the finishing of a book into the rest of your life?
Bozak took advantage of available moments but found she needed long, sustained writing sessions. Most of the work happened during spring and summer, while teaching breaks allowed more time, and the manuscript progressed in fits and starts around family and work responsibilities.
How to Write Emotionally Compelling Romance, with Francesca Frost
Q: How did you make the decision about the level of physical intimacy that you wanted to have in your novel?
Frost wanted intimacy to be part of the relationship rather than gratuitous. She wrote scenes that showed how Duane understood Charlotte and how their physical connection strengthened the emotional bond and served the story.
How to Write Emotionally Compelling Romance, with Francesca Frost
Q: What are the challenges of writing a story that takes place in a world that maybe your average reader isn't very familiar with?
Frost says she focused on the most compelling elements, such as powerful founders, large sums of money, and cybersecurity risks, while limiting technical detail. She also used Charlotte's fashion background as a way into NFTs and the metaverse.
Overcoming Fear to Finish the Book, with Mel West
Q: What are the biggest lessons you learned about writing a novel through this process?
She identifies fear as the main limiter to finishing or continuing, more so than talent, and notes that finishing the book often leads to the question of what comes next, which she finds challenging.
