BookTrib is proud to present to our readers the Writers, Ink podcast, a show about the business of writing.

J.K. Rowling was nearly homeless when she wrote the first Harry Potter book. Stephen King penned Carrie on a small desk wedged between a washer and dryer. James Patterson worked in advertising and famously wrote the Toys “R” Us theme song long before becoming an author.

Join New York Times bestseller J.D. Barker, and indie powerhouses J. Thorn and Zach Bohannon, as they pull back the curtain on some of the world’s most prolific authors. Where did they start? What is their process? The biggest names in publishing all have origin stories, all have a process, all have tips and secrets … What does it take to consistently top the bestseller lists? Get your notepad out. School’s in session. This is Writers, Ink.

Check back every Monday for a new episode!

  • Do you think the idea of a solo writer in a cabin in the woods is outdated in this hyperconnected day and age?
