Hallie Shepherd on Protecting Your Love of Reading
Hallie Shepherd on Protecting Your Love of Reading
Tietoa podcastista
There’s no one “right” way to write. All writers have our go-to moves as well as the things that just don’t work for us the way they do for others. And what works today isn’t guaranteed to work tomorrow. But most of us do have something we carry from project to project. This is a show about those somethings, as novelists Ted Fox (SCHOOLED, DATE WEEK) and Lindsay Lewis (IT’S A BUSINESS DOING PLEASURE WITH YOU) talk with other writers about the craft of writing through the lens of a specific question: What’s your best writing tip?
*Note: From May 2023 to January 2026, this podcast was called Working Drafts.
