Episode 272: Sometimes Writers Need to Up Our Game


Listen Later

KJ and Jennie truly go head-to-head in this one, because KJ loves a book Jennie loathes. Can she talk her around?

In our new summer series, The Working Bookshelf, KJ and guest host Jennie Nash pull their favorite writing books off the shelf and debate: which is better and why—until invariably, they get distracted and just start talking about the topic at hand. Funny, fresh and full of frank advice, when KJ and Jennie get going they’re hard to stop.

This week, we’re upping our games with The Practice versus The Bestseller Code.

In a new twist, you can also watch these episodes on YouTube. Find Episode 4 HERE.

And, for your looking-forward pleasure, here’s the whole series, dropping once weekly all through the summer of 2021.
