There’s no one “right” way to write. All writers have our go-to moves as well as the things that just don’t work for us the way they do for others. And what works today isn’t guaranteed to work tomorrow. But most of us do have something we carry from project to project. This is a show about those somethings, as novelists Ted Fox (SCHOOLED, DATE WEEK) and Lindsay Lewis (IT’S A BUSINESS DOING PLEASU... more

  • The Best!

    Ted’s show is the best! I love listening to writers get nerdy about their processes, and Ted is an absolutely phenomenal interviewer. A must-listen for any writers, readers, or creatives out there. 10/10!

  • Fantastic - a ‘must listen’

    Ted’s guidance and insight into the world of writing is a fascinating exploration of the steps and process a writer goes through. As a non-writer, I learned so much about the craft and so much about parts of the process that I never even knew existed. Ted’s humility, intellect, and humor bring joy and excitement to everything he works on. I look forward to new episodes of this podcast and couldn’t recommend this podcast more. Check it out! You’ll thank me later.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Marie Ellis on Mapping and Outlining
Q: What is your best writing tip and how does outlining factor into that tip?
Her tip centers on plotting and having a full map of the story, including its structure, while allowing room for discovery; she notes she uses a robust outline for nonfiction/ghostwriting and a more developed structure for fiction, followed by iterative editing and debriefs.
Marie Ellis on Mapping and Outlining
Q: What sparked your transition into ghostwriting and what does your work with clients look like on a day-to-day basis?
Marie describes starting in science journalism, then moving into ghostwriting after being invited to help a client, and emphasizes the highly collaborative process where interviews and client input shape the book, with editors and beta readers playing key roles.
Lindsay Lewis on Building Scenes (and Writing Post-Its)
Q: How do you approach plotting versus character in a multi-POV book?
Character comes first; plotting is flexible and often reshaped by how characters react in different POVs, using color-coded post-its to map arcs and scenes.
Lindsay Lewis on Building Scenes (and Writing Post-Its)
Q: What is your best writing tip for new writers?
Write with the goal of letting readers disappear into the story by cutting unnecessary flourishes and focusing on scene purpose, so the reader experiences the world through the characters' eyes.
Marc S. Perlman on Leaving Things Unresolved (Temporarily)
Q: Do you intend to keep this Follett-inspired technique in future projects, or is it project-specific?
The technique is effective but project-dependent; it may suit some future projects better than others, and the author could adapt it to different genres, especially where historical or espionage elements are prominent.
