Welcome to Biblio Breakdown! First appearing on The Writescast Network, Biblio Breakdown is a podcast where I take a recently released book, examine it along the lines of a particular theme, and then offer writing exercises so you can have the same successes in your own work in progress. You get to make your writing better and hear about great books all at the same time. What’s better than that? 😀

Note: New Biblio Breakdown episodes appear on the fifth Friday of every month that has five Fridays.
