Customer Reviews
The podcast I’ve been looking for!
A great balance of industry/author news and interviews from established writers that are heavy on craft. I love it!
The dangers of one story
The podcast has interesting guests but the tone deafness of this all-white group, with only one woman and one gay man, is astounding. Writers of color should just try harder to get published and books banned for featuring LGBT folks deserve to be censored, if these hosts are to be believed. JP’s opinions are drowned out and disregarded, and forget the voices of POC being respected. This is the danger of having no diverse voices at the table.
The Absolute Best
On my journey to become an author I’ve sought out whatever knowledge about the craft and the business I can glean from various websites, videos, and podcasts. Writers, Ink has been by far the most helpful, inspiring, and encouraging.
