S5 E4 Rebecca Serle: Trusting the Process (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, I’m joined by Rebecca Serle, bestselling author of One Italian Summer and Once and Again , for a conversation that feels a little like a master class in trusting the work. We talk through her process, turn the tables on each other, and swap the Jedi mind tricks we use to keep our brains from getting in the way.

S5 E3 Nikita Gill: A Very Specific Kind of Monster (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some writers write with a single voice. Others carry generations with them.

Read excerpt
For the first episode of Season Five, I’m joined by Karin Slaughter, bestselling author of Pretty Girls and her latest, The Secrets We Hide , for a conversation about writing stories that are dark, strange, and unapologetically intense. We talk about the particular experience of being a woman who writes this kind of work, the strange expectations that come with being taken seriously, and what happens when you commit fully to a story and see it all the way through. Karin also lets us into her wri
