Hi! We're getting the reboot treatment with new interviews and discussions on the writing experience, craft, and the world of publishing.

Join us for a fantastic first season coming to you soon!

A quick update on the recent delay in episode uploads and plans moving forward. The podcast isn't saying goodbye, but we'll be taking a bit of a breather to do some catching up (and meeting some other deadlines!).

Moving forward, we may explore doing the "seasons" setup where we take breaks between batches of episodes, but we'll keep you updated once we settle on a schedule. Thank you so much for sticking with us, and we appreciate you all!
