Writer’s Book Club is just like a regular book club but each month we’ll take a deep dive into a specific novel from a writing craft perspective.
It's a podcast for people who read books with a writer’s eye and find themselves wishing they could ask the author specific writing questions about the novel.
Essentially, it’s a no-holds-barred insight into an author’s writing craft and process, applied to a real-life novel.

Customer Reviews
Each interview leaves me reeling!
Writer’s Book Club Podcast is the right combination of theory and practical advice! If you ever wished you could have a published author walk you through their process — from the idea to the last chapter, and with tactical advice about things such as plot — listening to this podcast is the best thing any inspiring writer can do. My only challenge is that I’m in the US and sometimes the books are not available here in the States. And when they are, they often take 3-4 weeks for delivery. Of course this doesn’t stop me from listening! Nothing can stop that. Hands down, a wonderful and worthwhile podcast!
