Writers and Readers: The Timecrest Podcast

Podkast av Sneaky Crab

They say a story is written twice: first when the words are put down on paper, and second when the reader reads those words. After eight years of writing Timecrest, we're excited to share our insights into crafting compelling and emotional narratives. Grab a cup of coffee and join our casual chat with hosts Justin, Cai, and Bennett. We'll offer a behind-the-scenes look at our approach to writing Timecrest. If you're a writer who wants to get in touch with what readers think, or a reader who wants to know how writers think, tune in here! 

Denne podkasten er gratis å lytte på alle podkastspillere og i Podimo-appen uten abonnement.
