Looking to start your writing journey?

If you are just starting out on your writing journey like me then you should add this pod cast to your list. Don’t just listen to her new content, but take the time to go back and listen to her earlier podcasts. They are super helpful giving tips and tricks to help you get that first draft down.

The place for motivation, inspiration & learning

I love these podcasts! I listen or re-listen to one while exercising each day for motivation, inspiration and learning. Katie is honest, and I truly appreciate this because there are so many myths and misconceptions about what it is to be a writer.
