In this episode, we chat about our own writing journeys: what went wrong, what went right, and what we really wish we’d known back in the day. We talk discipline (no, not that discipline, get your mind out of the gutter--or don't, we're not your boss), luck and timing, and whether writers actually have to be on social media or if we can all just, like, not.

Along the way, we swap stories about building an online presence, finding (and leaning on) a writing community, and riding the emotional roller coaster that comes with putting our work into the world.

On hot gos, we explore everything ever that is wrong with romance. (no, we don't)

Welcome to Bad Lit Friends. We’re glad you’re here, even if none of us know what we’re doing.

Bad Lit Friends was created and is hosted by Meagan Thompson-Mann and Kirk Rafferty.
