Drink deep from the fountain of writing knowledge

The Red Sneaker podcast series is a treasure trove of knowledge for published and unpublished authors alike. The series is hosted by NY Times best-selling author William Bernhardt. With over 50 books to his credit, he has embarked on a mission to educate all would be writers on the elements and business of the craft.

These episodes are an extension of his Red Sneaker Write Series with each containing writing tips , publishing news, and an interview with either an author, member of the publishing industry, or someone involved in some aspect of both.

One of the greatest things about the series is that all of the episodes contain info that never ages and becomes dated, other than the publishing news, I will return to the first episode and travel through them repeatedly, waiting eagerly for the next episode.

Just like his Red Sneaker Writing Series books, the podcasts are concise, focused, and serve as a cheerleader for you to take pencil to paper and tell a story.

Highly recommend. Take advantage of this gem from someone who has done it successfully.
