Writer’s Book Club is just like a regular book club but each month we’ll take a deep dive into a specific novel from a writing craft perspective. It's a podcast for people who read books with a writer’s eye and find themselves wishing they could ask the author specific writing questions about the novel. Essentially, it’s a no-holds-barred insight into an author’s writing craft and process, applied to a real-life novel. Shownotes are available at www.writersbookclubpodcast.com
