About This Writing Thing

Started in 2019, ATWT is a bi-weekly podcast designed to share just what living the full time writing life is all about. Hosted by novelist Sayword B. Eller, this podcast serves as her live journal, of sorts, where she talks about the ins and outs of writing and the ups and downs of her writing career, while also sharing informative episodes about the craft itself. In 2022, Sayword began interviewing writing friends about their journeys, their publications, and their favorite writing advice. If you'd like to be featured on an episode of ATWT, email Sayword at aboutthiswritingthing@gmail.com!
