Hi! Hillary here with a new summer mini episode. We'll keep things casual and spend a few minutes chatting about a writing question that's been on my mind lately. And our question for today is:

How do I keep the beta reading process from becoming overwhelming?

Do you have your own beta reading tips? We'd love to hear from you. Our email address writingwithfriendspodcast@gmail.com.

Hillary here. We’re on a summer break right now between seasons, but I’m still here some weekly mini-episodes. We'll keep things casual and spend a few minutes chatting about a writing question that's been on my mind lately. Hopefully I'll leave you with some takeaways for your own writing journey!

Our question for today is: Why should you consider writing a craft rather than just and art, and what benefits will you see from this way of framing your writing practice?
