About this listen

A podcast that ran from April 2020 to July 2021 featuring:
1) In-depth conversations with fellow writers about their work (mostly their novels, which I read cover to cover!)
2) Discussions of the nitty-gritty of writing - is it really a joy?
3) Advice for new and aspiring writers - as in how to write a novel
4) Maybe one day the podcast will make a comeback...
