Justin and Jon are trying a new competition! We were invited by Australia's Amanda and Ed to take part in their Not Quite Write Prize! As luck would have it, a former winner of the competition had previously reached out expressing interest in joining the pod as a guest. So we're excited to welcome Autumn Bettinger to Writing in Progress!

Our Interview with Autumn begins at 23:22
We reveal and discuss the prompts for NQW at 1:15:25

*Episode Sponsor!*
This episode's sponsor is Camsyn Clair, who's been a valued supporter of WiP for quite some time. If you're participating in the Not Quite Write Prize (which if you're listening to this episode, it's very likely you are) you've probably seen their artwork, as Camsyn is the 2025 Not Quite Write Artist in Residence!
You can find them on bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/beingcam.bsky.social / @beingcam.bsky.social
We also want to mention that their art was recently published on the cover of the January issue of Small Wonders magazine, and you can find that artwork pinned to their bluesky profile, linked above.
They occasionally have availability for limited illustration commissions between other projects--if people like their art style, feel free to reach out with inquiries!
