What is their process? The biggest names in publishing all have origin stories, all have a process, all have tips and secrets… What does it take to consistently top the bestseller lists? Get your notepad out. School’s in session. This, is Writers, Ink.

    Great questions and answers today guys.
    I’ve taken the precaution of putting a mask 😷 over my speaker so I don’t catch Covid from your podcast. I hope Zach and JD and family recover fully with no long term complications.
    I love the idea of spending time alone in a cabin writing, with no internet, phone, radio or tv or any other distractions. What could possibly go wrong? Well, for a start a happy clappy cult could call on me for donations and when I say no they could leave, but later that night…
    Great show.
