The episode concludes with the May writing prompt, so respondez sil vous plait. We’d love to read what you come up with. Get the show notes and listen here, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Episode 32 is all about revising

In Episode 32, we talk about lots of different elements of revising. We decided to do this episode because Olivia is about to (probably) embark on a revision of her novel, and Meghan’s wrapping one of hers, so she had some wise words to share. We talk about lots of stages of revising and rewriting, and we also give a shout-out to our (erm, Meghan’s) favorite books about the process.

Episode 30 is all about writing prompts

It’s the first episode of the month, which means it’s prompt time! In Episode 30 (holy cow, 30 episodes!), we share our responses to the March writing prompt, which, if you don’t remember it, was the one-word prompt: “peremptory.” In the course of this, we discuss the backstory for Meghan’s novel and how to tell a story from the point of view of a cat. We also share the April writing prompt, from DIYMFA’s Writer Igniter. Get the full show notes here, and check out all our writing prompts here.
