Writer’s Book Club is just like a regular book club but each month we’ll take a deep dive into a specific novel from a writing craft perspective.
It's a podcast for people who read books with a writer’s eye and find themselves wishing they could ask the author specific writing questions about the novel.
Essentially, it’s a no-holds-barred insight into an author’s writing craft and process, applied to a real-life novel.

Customer Reviews
A game changer
I always get something out of these interviews, even if the writer bring interviews is outside the genre I write. Every writer has something to share of value.
Informative, warm, witty- a must listen!
Look no further if you want a ‘fly on the wall’ deep dive into the craft of writing. Michelle is right across her brief yet allows her writer guests the space to discuss their personal journeys re learning the craft, the mechanics of writing a novel and the tricky path to publication.
