The Writing Podcast was founded in late 2014 in the wake of The Self Publishing Roundtable’s final host stepping down from the show. Adam and Lindsay (the newest hosts of SPRT at the time) decided it would be best to branch off into a new show rather than continue with one in which all original hosts and owners were no longer involved.

So what are the similarities and differences between this podcast and the old?

I am glad you asked, convenient narrator. Like Adam and Lindsay’s prior show, this series of podcasts will be predominately an interview show. We also plan to use one of the features in the newest iteration of SPRT and have Hot Topic discussions with multiple guests. Although this will be a recurring event, it will not be every other week like the previous podcast.

Also, despite the fact that we will be predominately bringing you actionable writing and publishing advice from self-publishing, we plan to have traditionally published authors on the show. We believe this will be a nice change of pace and will finally put to rest the common saying that traditionally published authors do not have to market their own books (unless they are Stephen King or such). This is one of the major reasons the show is named The Writing Podcast instead of something specifically related to self-publishing.

Of course as of the time I type this, the podcast and website is in its infancy (let’s be honest … fetal stage). As such, the mission and content of the show is subject to change. What will not change is our mission to share and learn alongside you from these accomplished writers.

The current plan is to host our first show LIVE on December 19th, 2014 at 1:00 PM MST. Keep an eye on our homepage, Facebook, and Twitter for more information coming soon. Although we appreciate anyone who dedicates time to watch live, we definitely understand that it is not always possible or convenient. Heck, if you’re like me you’d rather listen to shows while you are away from the computer. If that is you too, then you will be happy to know that the episodes will all be available on Youtube and iTunes shortly after the live show!

    ATTENTION: The sound quality of this episode is bad and has lots of feedback/echoing. This is due to the guest unfortunately not having earphones or a headset.

    TWP#16 - Co-Writing & Ending Episodes Early w/ Adam

    Hi everyone and welcome to the sixteenth episode of THE WRITING PODCAST!

    As a warning, this episode was cut short due to Adam receiving an emergency phone call regarding his father-in-law. before the hosts had to close down shop, though, Lindsay does pry some great information out of Adam on his process of co-writing and publishing with his wife as well as how you can develop this with your own co-writer(s)!

    To hear Lindsay's original topic for the show (revitalizing an old series) be sure to tune in May 1st, 2015!)

Excellent content for authors

The 2 hosts are separately full-time fiction authors, and they discuss what really matters to writers who aspire to their status. Some episodes interview authors or industry pros, and some are just the hosts. Always very helpful content.

Wonderful Podcast

I've been listening to this podcast from the beginning. I love the format and enjoy the variety of authors interviewed on the podcast. Adam and Lindsay do an excellent job of keeping it real as in sharing the good and bad of this writing business for both self-pub and trad pub authors. Keep up the great work.

Great content, poor production

I enjoy this podcast however I wish there was better mics, noise reduction, and maybe a bit of editing? I guess it's dead anyway.
