The Write Process Podcast

One writer, one project, from concept to completion.

Every writer’s process is their own. In this podcast, host Charlie Jensen invites one writer to sit down and recount how one of their projects made it into the world. Over the course of these episodes, listeners will discover the many ways inspiration shows up and guides a writer’s work, the different schedules (and lack of schedules) writers need to get their drafts done, how they approached revision, and finally, the steps they took to get their book, movie, or TV episode into the world. Listeners new to writing will get insight into how to navigate the writing process, while even experienced writers can benefit from the tips, tricks, and even the familiar woes of the writing life. These are the stories behind our stories.
