The award-winning Failing Writers Podcast is the best writing podcast around. Why? It’s funny, informative and could help you get over writer’s block, finish that novel, get a literary agent and achieve your writing goals. (Oh, and they do silly little songs too)

S2 Ep31: Finally... we pitch Poker Night Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

Are you ready for a BRAND NEW SEASON of the Failing Writers Podcast? Of course you are!! Well... you'll need to wait a bit longer. We've got to finish the end of Season 2 first. We promised that we would write a sitcom and pitch it to a TV big-wig, and (rather surprisingly) that's exactly what we've done. Enjoy!!

S2 Ep30: End of season-ish Nov 14, 2022

Show notes

Some will be sad. Some may be happy for what has been. Many will call it an “end of an error”. Well, you know what, they might all be right. This week we share some of our old writing from years ago, as we bring season two to an end… ish. We say “ish”, because we promise to be back soon for a one-off special, in which we’ll be pitching our Poker Night comedy project to a TV exec. But until then, goodbye and thanks for listening!

S2 Ep27: Talking Pitching with TV Exec Saskia Schuster Oct 23, 2022

Show notes

This week we're after some tips and tricks to help us when we pitch our Poker Night idea. So, we've asked Sakia Schuster to come on. She's worked for loads of TV companies over the years, and is now Head of Scripted at Fullwell 73 Productions. It's fair to say that she knows her onions. And we're going to take some of those onions, and unwrap them... hoping that they don't make us cry.

S2 Ep26: The Episode That Was Never Meant To Be Oct 16, 2022

Show notes

Well, we weren't actually going to do an episode this week. What with our various domestic dramas and general time shortages, we thought our time would be better focussed on doing more work on our Poker Night project. So that's what we did... until we had an idea, that we just had to share.

S2 Ep25: National Poetry Day 2022 Oct 09, 2022

Show notes

We celebrate National Poetry Day with some “free writing”, as we go for a little paddle in the stream of consciousness. Four minutes of furious writing which we are ~~brave~~ stupid enough to share with the class.
We also take the opportunity to share one last favourite from our love story competition.
And here's a link to our lovely special guest's lovely book

S2 Ep23: Quite a long longlist Sep 25, 2022

Show notes

Have you entered our Love story flash fiction competition? Well, we're announcing the winner next week, but this week we're giving you a sneek peak of some of the entries for which we've fallen head over heels. They might go on to win or we may read others that we like more as we digest our way through the mountain of entries. Either way, we just thought that these were too good not to share. So, are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin...

S2 Ep22: An enthricing chat about not much Sep 18, 2022

Show notes

This week, a guest we're expecting doesn't show up... and we've got no other time to record the show. So, we just have to go with it, put our big boy pants on and deliver some high quality, unscripted content. You can probably guess how that went. Or maybe you can't, and you're still going to listen. Which we thank you for.
Loads of great writing comps at https://www.globesoup.net/
