WriterDojo
The WriterDojo is different than most other writing advice podcasts out there- our primary purpose is to cut through all the bad advice and help you tell stories that people want to read (& get you paid in the process.) This is advice on becoming a Professional Writer from two very knowledgeable Professional Writers. Authors Steve Diamond & Larry Correia discuss the ins and outs of writing for fun and profit. Readers will find plenty of interesting tidbits as well and may come away with new insights into what goes into creating the stories they love.
