Hello everyone, and welcome to Writers Drinking Coffee.

This week we will introduce you to your hosts; Chaz Brenchley, John Schmidt, and Jeannie Warner, and discuss how they each got into writing, along with other topics picked up idling by the barista counter.Enjoy, and we’ll try to link things we talk about every week.
