Living The Writing Life Podcast with Nancy Christie
A podcast for and about writers—the business side and the creative perspective—and how our life experiences intersect with our writing work. How we do it, why we do it and what keeps us going as we navigate the creative environment. Because, published or not, wildly popular or still unknown, we are all writers. ”Living the Writing Life” is a copyrighted podcast solely owned by author Nancy Christie.
