class="description"> <em>Write-minded: Weekly Inspiration for Writers</em> is currently in its fourth year. We are a weekly podcast for writers craving a unique blend of inspiration and real talk about the ups and downs of the writing life. Hosted by Brooke Warner of She Writes and Grant Faulkner of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), each theme-focused episode of <em>Write-minded</em> features an interview with a writer, author, or publishing industry professional. This year we’re featuring a Book Trend at the end of each episode to keep listeners in the loop about what they need to know about the book industry. Brooke and Grant bring to this weekly podcast their shared spirit of community, collaboration, and a deeply held belief that everyone is a writer, and everyone’s story matters. <div class="website"> <i class="fa fa-link"></i> <a href="" target="_blank"></a> </div> </div> </div><br class="clear"/> </div> </div> <br class="clear"/> <!-- LAYOUT - 2 --><!-- TEMPLATE BLOG 2 --> <!-- Begin each blog post --> <div id="post-246407" class="element animated1 " rel="two_columns"> <div class="post_wrapper full"> <div class="post_img half" > <a href="https://lithub.com/jeannine-ouellette-on-bringing-attention-playfulness-and-surprise-to-your-writing/" title="Jeannine Ouellette on Bringing Attention, Playfulness, and Surprise to Your Writing"> <img src="https://s26162.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/image-800x40018-1-726x400.png" alt="" class="post_ft entry_post"/> </a> </div> <div class="post_inner_wrapper half header"> <div class="post_header_wrapper half"> <div class="post_header half"> <h4> <a href="https://lithub.com/jeannine-ouellette-on-bringing-attention-playfulness-and-surprise-to-your-writing/" title="Jeannine Ouellette on Bringing Attention, Playfulness, and Surprise to Your Writing">Jeannine Ouellette on Bringing Attention, Playfulness, and Surprise to Your Writing</a> </h4> <h5>From the Write-minded Podcast, Hosted by Brooke Warner and Grant Faulkner</h5> </div> </div> <div class="post_detail half"> December 2, 2024&nbsp;
