About Stop Writing Alone
From the publisher's feed
Stop Writing Alone is a weekly show for writers looking for a writing community. In each episode listeners will learn where and how they can find, or create, their own writing community while joining…
one such community with Stop Writing Alone. The show will provide inspiration, writing activities, critique, and lessons from "distant teachers" in the writing world via their writings, online presence, and interviews. The show is written and hosted by Nicole Rivera, co-organizer of a local writing group, writer, and Pitch Wars 2016 mentee.
