This is advice on becoming a Professional Writer from two very knowledgeable Professional Writers. Authors Steve Diamond & Larry Correia discuss the ins and outs of writing for fun and profit. Readers will find plenty of interesting tidbits as well and may come away with new insights into what goes into creating the stories they love.

Customer Reviews
I’m not a writer, but I love this podcast
Anyone can get value out of this show, whether it’s chuckles and laughs, business knowledge, or writing advice.
Entertaining and informative!
As a fledgling writer, I find Larry and Steve to dispense invaluable information all while being ridiculously fun. With their vast experience and their wry, snarky humor, they manage to inspire as well keep things grounded in reality. The Writer Dojo is the best podcast for people who want to learn how to just freakin’ tell great stories. Hoooooon!
This Podcast Rocks
Whether you’re a newbie author or you’ve got a few books to your credit or you’re just interested in how writers do their stuff, this is the podcast for you. No fluff, no preaching, no whining. Just folks who obviously love the craft talking about what they love to do.
