I listen to a lot of podcasts and this is one of my absolute favorites.
I rarely listen to podcasts, usually because they feel like a conglomeration of fun facts and maybe some helpful tidbits but not truly helpful words to live by.
This podcast, however is not only a delightful listen, but it’s full of incredible advice, practices, inspirational & encouraging stories of people who, like me, just want to live good life, love God, and share in the craft of writing. It’s absolutely worth the listen!
Will’s podcast, along with all of his other work, is the help Christian writers so desperately need. He provides not only encouragement but also practical tips for a writer’s journey. There is an approachability and camaraderie here that makes us feel less alone. Cannot recommend enough!
Will’s podcast has been SO helpful to me as a writer! The practical tips, encouragement, and interviews are very insightful and have shaped me as I pursue freelance writing. His newsletter is excellent and I’ve sent it to all my writing friends!
I found this really helpful. I’m on my second draft and I love the way you encouraged us to move outward to meet the reader - just what I needed to hear today !
