A podcast for writers of genre fiction.
Do you like to write about monsters or true love or spaceships or spies or time-travel or ghosts or zombies or sharks or vampires or robots or chases or escapes? Once upon a time did you wish upon a star that one day someone out there in a galaxy far, far away would talk to the top writers in your dream genre so you could tap them for writing advice?
Well fear not, I got you (I know, I know: I got you, who’s got me?).
