SCAM ALERT: Someone is impersonating Writers on Writing and sending fraudulent invitations to authors. Writers on Writing never charges fees to appear on the podcast and we only work with publicists. If you receive a solicitation, do not reply to the message or click its links. 

From debut authors to Pulitzer Prize winners, Writers on Writing tackles a little of everything — novels, short stories, memoir, poetry, and more, as well as interviews with agents and publishers.

Unlike other shows dedicated to discussing books, we focus on the art, craft, and business of writing. Writers appreciate the opportunity to talk about the artistic elements of their job — the thousands of decisions that must be made to produce a manuscript. There’s no aspect of craft, creativity, and publishing we don’t explore.

Hosts Barbara DeMarco-Barrett and Marrie Stone have interviewed well over 1,500 authors on the show including Elizabeth Strout, S.A. Cosby, Ann Patchett, Amor Towles, and George Saunders. Expert advice from some of the industry’s top writers allows us to offer a show that’s been called “your own personal MFA program” (with no financial strain).

Writers on Writing is proud to be one of PodRanker’s 20 best writing podcasts.

Music and sound editing are provided by Travis Barrett.
