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!
