One of Our Favorites and News About Season 2

We are in the dog days of summer and, though we feel like lazing on the couch in the warm afternoons, we are not. We are writing and interviewing and are hard at work on Season Two. We are excited to bring you more tips and insider info, more guests, more authors and freelancers, and people who are crafting writing careers and have ideas and insights that can help us do it too.

We will be back with all-new shows Monday, Sept. 5 and in the meantime, we want to share a couple of our favorites and two of the most listened-to shows from our first year. We hope you enjoy and don't forget to subscribe so you get all new shows. If you love the show, please leave a review.

If you want to publish, it's not enough to have a good idea. You have to have the right idea, at the right time for the market you want to pitch or the readers you want to reach.

So how do you choose the right one? We cover that in today's show and explain why you must scrutinize your idea and evaluate form, timeliness, and focus before you ever start writing.
