Sinopse
STEP INTO MY WORKSHOP where I have been writing and publishing novels full-time since 1993. Let me say up front: this podcast isn't for just anyone. If you're looking to be entertained, or you just want to hang out and shoot the breeze with a bunch of novelists, there are a number of other podcasts that do that. But if you're serious about learning the craft of writing and publishing fiction, you're in the right place. (Just to be clear -- we'll have a great time! When it comes to writing novels, if you're not having fun, you're doing something wrong.) But let's face it. Novelists are a different breed. Not everyone gets us. And honestly, I enjoy nothing more than sitting around and talking shop with novelists. What works. What doesn't work. The ups and downs of being a novelist. That's what this podcast is all about: Sharing with you what I've learned over the years as a career novelist. My goal in creating this podcast is to help other novelists tell their story and get it into the hands of eager readers.
