In this new Write On! Audio feature we'll share episodes of other writing podcasts that our listeners may enjoy.  First, we're sharing an episode of The Writers Gym,  a weekly show about the process and practice of writing featuring writer and writing coach Dr Rachel Knightley alongside novelist and audio drama writer Emily Inkpen.  The Writers Gym is presented by Write On Audio's producer Chris Gregory.   In the edition you're about to hear the team discuss the art of giving feedback to your fellow writers and ways in which you can ask for feedback on your own work.

Our March listener contribution comes from Whitney Love.  Whitney Love is a wife, mother and known for her love of animals. The great outdoors is a space where she finds a lot of inspiration.  Whitney always dreamed of becoming an author from a very young age, keen to story-tell on topics that would challenge her readers to see varying degrees of life and enable them to imagine what that could potentially mean for someone else. Her dream of writing has now come to life with the publication of her debut novel  "She Set Him Up" which was published in January this year.    For this week’s podcast we have the first chapter of the book read by Whitney herself.

 

You can buy a copy of Whitney’s book direct from the publisher, Troubador, here https://www.troubador.co.uk/bookshop/contemporary/she-set-him-up
