A New Hope

WriteCast – between the pages 

Our podcast will focus less on the WHAT, and more on the HOW and WHY of writing a book.

Of course, we will still focus on WHAT our guests write, and discuss books, but we will examine the things that happen behind the scenes – the book of YOU, the writer. 

The trials and tribulations, the rejections and the successes – we will explore deeper and with greater insight, the authors psyche and process, and the person beneath the book. 

Hosted by Stuart and Florianne, we will welcome guests to discuss all of the above and we hope that the conversations we have will be relatable for all who listen.

Welcome to WriteCast!

Discussion on what we hope to achieve with the podcast:

• The overriding thought is to dissect between the pages of a writer. 
• To understand how they work and write stories.
• To understand why they do it.
• To find out more about the writing life, in general, and specific to our guests.
• To create a relatable bond between writers at different stages of their career.
