Episode 1: NO DEAD GRANNIES

This episode is all about what on earth publishers are looking for and whether knowing or not knowing can affect our writing. We discuss whether Rick Rubin's theory that 'the audience comes last' is a good one for writers, and we also talk about country singer Luke Combs and his song Doin This.We talk about young children and the way they make things for the joy of it, not the finished product.We share our experience of attending a WestWords Creative Writing workshop for the WestWords Living Stories competition.We challenge ourselves to find our most unpublishable idea or manuscript and show it some love and joy.Intro and outro music is royalty-free music by Geoff Harvey—be sure to check out his catalogue on his YouTube channel @GeoffHarveyMusic
