Customer Reviews
So helpful
Zena’s podcast episodes do more than help and encourage my writing—they also provide insight into the best practices of writing from a Christian worldview. Thank you, Zena, for your encouragement!
Literally beyond Grateful for this podcast!
Zena’s Storyteller’s Mission is transformative! I’ve learned a great deal about storytelling but also have been so encouraged by her convictions! I’ve been at the end of my rope as a writer, disillusioned by the industry and ready to quit but for her confident words of instruction and reminders that our words matter I have not given up! Whew!!!
Meaty and Truthful
Packed with deep insights on character, story structure, writing techniques and the film/publishing industry, this podcast is may favorite thing about Thursdays. Zena’s podcast is the perfect length and she has a great voice. This is one of the few podcasts where I will replay episodes because they are that good! Highly recommend for any writer looking to improve their craft.
