It’s a special Writers on Writing episode of “613 Books” podcast where some of host Heather Dean’s favorite authors are speaking about crafting their written work.

Think of it as a brief journey inside the minds of a variety of NONFICTION writers to find out a bit about how they churn out the words we read and become inspired, or informed, or just entertained by.

This episode’s featured guests are:

· Award winning author Judy Gruen, author of “Bylines and Blessings” and other books

· Scientist, Rabbi Jonathan Sassen, author of “The Science Behind the Mishnah”

· Therapist Yocheved Davidowitz, author of “I’ll Start Tomorrow”
