Great New Podcast
I got back into creative writing recently and it’s been difficult to find good podcasts on the topic. This one is off to a great start and I can’t wait to see what topics they discuss.
In the beginning....
Can’t wait to witness this pod develop!
Love any opportunity to hear Amanda Edens talk about writing and editing. Such talent behind the microphone here, and a privilege to experience her shared wisdom and insight.
