A Great Podcast for Writers
Michell Plested, the host of this excellent podcast, has a great natural knack for engaging the published authors he interviews. It makes for very entertaining and informative talks, where you can tell the author is comfortable and having a good time. With the author at ease, you get to hear a lot of great advice and glean insight into the writing and publishing life. It’s also fun to hear Michell talk about his experiences with his own road to getting published, as he himself is a writer. Being a writer Michell has a lot of great advice on writing and publishing as well. Great podcast!
