Write Place / Write Time

We’re Lucy and Robin, and this podcast chronicles our journey from amatuer writers to published authors. Now, in Season Two, we have a new name and some new goals, and we hope to be joined by a few friends along the way to help demystify this process for other writers.

That’s a Wrap! (On Season 2)

Lucy and Robin announce a brief hiatus, because sometimes you just need to take a break. Don't worry, episodes will resume later this year!
