  • 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.

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.
Overcoming Fear to Finish the Book, with Mel West
Q: So talk to me about where the idea for this debut novel came from.
Mel explains that ideas feel like they seek people to birth them, often arriving as snippets of conversations or a monologue, and that the setting and life events (like moving from Boulder to New York) helped the character's world come into focus; she emphasizes that the idea felt very relatable to millennial experiences.
Writing Historical Fiction That Keeps Readers Turning Pages, with Terry Kirk
Q: What is fintech?
Fintech is the technology that tends to transform financial transactions.
How to Finally Finish the Book, with Debra Hunt
Q: What inspired Unlikely Hero, and did it come from your work with dogs or something else?
Debra explains that the idea grew from a long-held concern about living alone and needing a loyal companion, prompting her to explore loyalty and protection dynamics through a big, scary-looking dog.
How Writers Can Use AI Responsibly, with Ana del Valle
Q: Tell us a little bit about where you think AI fits in the novel writing process.
AI can be used for analytical tasks like brainstorming, outlining, getting preliminary feedback, and organizing a writer's materials, but it should not be used to write or polish prose; the writer must do the core human expression to preserve copyright and ownership.
