The Book I HAD to Write
Books & Literature
Welcome to the Book I had to write. This is the show where I feature critically-acclaimed writers, who tell me about the stories they just HAD to get out in the world. Episodes focus on places where that sense of urgency meets resistance. We talk about where authors get stuck—and how they succeed. Whether it’s about mindset, craft, or the changing landscape of publishing—this show covers everything you need to know to start & finish your own writing project.
