I am a Podcast Guest on Writer's Routine

M G Leonard Ltd
May 11, 2025

I had the pleasure of talking to Dan Simpson for the Writer’s Routine podcast about my writing routine, and how it has evolved over the past decade.

I’ve been a fan of the Writer’s Routine podcast for a while. I’m incredibly nosy about how other writers create their books. I’ve learned a lot from other writers.

You can listen whereever you get your podcasts.
