S8E4 - Smile by Connor
In this episode, I look at the first page of a listener's story and suggest ways they could improve it. I cover show, don't tell, close third-person, what details you choose to focus on, and when to start your story.

S8E3 - Voice (Writing Ramble)
On this episode, I talk about the emphasis on having 'a strong voice' as a writer, and how I think you should actually develop your voice as an author. I use US slam poetry as an example and finish by deconstructing impostor syndrome. Hope you enjoy it.
