  • A Great Women’s Fiction Podcast

    I have been a regular listener to Pamela Cook’s podcast and have learnt so much, not just about some excellent books but about writing. I love hearing authors discuss their writing process and the challenges and rejections they have faced. When I cook and pop my AirPods in I feel as though I am amongst friends.

  • Inspiring

    Loved the interview with Holly Ringland. Teacher, sage and talented writer, she found the words that motivate those of us who must write to just keep going for the utter joy of creation. Thank you for sharing conversations with similarly inspiring writers. It’s a treasure trove of ideas and encouragement!!!!
