cavernsperilous ,

insightful writing and publishing advice — if you want to write, listen!

Great insights and helpful writing and publishing advice from four authors who truly want to help others succeed. A must for writers in the midst of projects or anyone who aspires to writing.

Breaking into writing!

What I like about this podcast, is that the hosts have great chemistry together, have relatable insights into writing, and don’t pander or condescend to people like me who are trying to break into the writing world! 5 out of 5!
