COME BACK
Seriously... publishing has changed so much in 2021, I need your takes on it!
Best Podcast for Aspiring Writers
This podcast has it all: information, critiques, tips, anecdotes, interviews, and personal stories. Kelly and JJ dole out the info while tempering aspiring authors’ hopes and expectations with a dose of reality. Somehow, listeners aren’t discouraged because Kelly and JJ dish out that brutal honesty in a nice way. Love listening to these two and highly recommend them to anyone.
Ultimately disappointing
There are a few in-depth episodes about very specific industry aspects (like contracts) that are interesting. I also like their very, very limited query feedback episodes. But honestly, you can find all this advice and more on YouTube by creators who are way more consistent and not so.... ideologically focused.
What minimal faith I had left in the podcast- which now hasn’t uploaded in over a year, conveniently AFTER they ask you to support them on Patreon!!!- was obliterated after attempting to read Wintersong. Yikes.
I would highly suggest Alexa Donne and Brandon Sanderson’s lectures over on YouTube! IWriterly also covers so industry details.
