6 Best Podcasts For Writers To Listen To

Writing is an exercise on simply getting out of your head all the right words necessary to express a single idea at the time. Meaning that clear and precise writing is a hard task. Just imagine the many ways you could express a single idea, considering them all and then selecting the best one out of the lot. Believe me, it can frequently be just maddening.

If improving your writing process is something you look for, there’s nothing better than talking and sharing with another writer, unfortunately, many writers simply don’t have that many acquaintances that also write. You can share anonymous stories or find other avenues.

Fear not, technology has a solution, and that solution is called a podcast. Take your time to listen to what some writers got to share about their grind, its struggles, and tips on how to go about the task and not become insane in the process. Here are the best of them.
