Customer Reviews
Worth the Listen
These 15-20 min episodes tackle a range of story related issues- bite sized chunks that give you just enough to think about. I was just recommended by a friend and after listening to a few, am already plan on going back to listen to all I’ve missed. Check it out!
Motivating advice
Stumbled across Cargill on twitter and it’s been one of the best things to happen to me as a writer. His advice on twitter and this podcast is encouraging, meaningful, and sparks the confidence I need to keep on writing. Working on a book now and I know that with this advice I will one day get it finished.
