The Joy of Writing

Mark Carew

A podcast that ran from April 2020 to July 2021 featuring: 
1) In-depth conversations with fellow writers about their work (mostly their novels, which I read cover to cover!)
2) Discussions of the nitty-gritty of writing - is it really a joy?
3) Advice for new and aspiring writers - as in how to write a novel

New episodes due in 2024!  Let me know what you would like to hear on my new blog at: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/18857302.Mark_Carew
