I'm a new listener to this podcast and it has very quickly become one of my favorite shows to listen to. There are a lot of writing podcasts out there, but this one is several steps above most of them. Writer and host Mikey Campling does a wonderful job sharing his writing experiences and writing tips with us listeners. If you're a writer, new or experienced, give this show a listen. I bet you'll enjoy it.

I’ve only just begun listening to this show but already found it helpful. The hosts advice about self-editing, for example, was spot on with my experience. I’d recommend this podcast to new writers just getting started and more experienced writers who want to learn something new or rediscover a valuable lesson they may have forgotten.
