Pull up a chair, grab a drink, and hang out with us.
Every week, join writers Amy Avery and D.C. McNaughton for a drink and discussion of writing craft as we revise snippets of our own rough drafts live on-air. We also chat about the writing journey and the struggles of author life, while mixing it up by also sharing informative interviews with other authors and experts.
(Fair warning, we like the swears.)
