Whether you’re interested in craft, publishing, or marketing or just want to listen to writers talking about writing, you’ll find a podcast that hits your sweet spot.<\/p>\n
And for those who would rather read than listen, some podcasters even offer transcripts.<\/p>\n
I’ve compiled this list of 19 of the best as a starting point for you. Try sampling a few; you might even get hooked.<\/p>\n
For the sake of consistency, each link goes to the podcast’s iTunes page. I did that so you could easily see a list of recent episodes and topics.<\/p>\n
Some of the podcasts have “show notes” for each episode; I’ve linked to those when they’re available, too. (At the website, click on the episode title to get the show notes.) Show notes are often an episode recap and links to resources and other specifics mentioned during the show. If there’s a transcript, you’ll find it in the show notes.<\/p>\n
Here they are in alphabetical order.<\/p>\n
