I’m obsessed!

This podcast is so brilliant on so many levels. Shawn is a captivating mentor who can not only write about concrete methods to find the weaknesses in your story, but talk about them as well. And Tim is the perfect mentee. He asks thought provoking questions and doesn’t take any handouts from Shawn. Instead he insists on understanding exactly how to master the story grid techniques himself. I’ve started from the very first episode and have been listening nonstop as I go through my day. This podcast is a masterclass and a must for anyone who is serious about their writing. I can’t recommend it enough.
