Might be addictive..

I just discovered the podcast and that I can listen to it here on audible. Since I haven’t heard many of these before, I am kind of binge listening right now, lol. I’ve been digging into things such as character arc and the Lie the character believes, and it helps so much to be able to listen to these podcasts while I’m thinking about it all. Thank you KM Weiland! PS - every episode I’ve heard was very professionally done!

So helpful!

I've been a writer for years, but I still struggle with some basic story- and character structures. This podcast helped me visualize my heroine's struggle to accept herself.
Thank you!

Helpful and Inspiring

I'm working on my first novel and her deep insight into story has been so helpful. I especially love the archetypal episodes.

Invaluable for any storycrafter

Between her books and this podcast. K.M. Weiland has been an incredible resource in my understanding of story structure and craft. Pick any random episode and you will find a great nugget of wisdom. She frames things in such a useful way that can really help to refocus and improve your work in progress, even if you're a veteran writer.

Excellent

I love the blog posts and sometimes I don't always have time to sit still and read the posts.
Making all of the posts available as podcasts here in one location makes it easier for me to search for episodes that I need to listen to again.
I love the podcasts and all of the information it contains.
Extremely useful if you are an aspiring writer like myself.
