  • Summary

  • What is Writeopolis? Writeopolis is a fortnightly (or, for US listeners, twice a month) conversation between writing professionals (and Kit Power). The conversation happens live every other Sunday evening via Discord, with live text chat accompanying the voice discussion (no video; RJ and Kit don't have that kind of time to sort their hair out every weekend). The resultant conversation is later released in podcast form via this feed. Who is Writeopolis? Writeopolis is BFS Award winner RJ Barker, author and playwright Scott K Andrews, and BFA finalist author, blogger, podcaster and procrastinator (and the one who does all the work) Kit Power, in conversation every fortnight with professionals from across the writing industry. The aim is to recreate the conversational vibe of chatting at the bar of a really good con with the guest of honour. Without the stale chips and having to yell to be heard. Though if you want stale chips, that's fine, we guess. But they are not provided. When and where is Writeopolis? Every other Sunday - 8:30pm to 9:30(ish)pm on Discord - https://discord.gg/SxBWXrbnWp , with recordings appearing here the following Friday for Patreon backers - https://www.patreon.com/writeopolispodcast , and FREE the Friday afterwards for all. We're incredibly grateful for your financial support, but we will never charge for access to the Writeopolis live show or podcast. Why is Writeopolis? Because writing is a lonely profession, and cons didn't come around often enough even before Covid. Because the best bit of any con is the chat you have at the bar on the Sunday evening. Because we're passionate about every single aspect of writing, and we love to talk about it with fellow misfits.

  • Writeopolis S1 E8 - Stark Holborn

    Writeopolis S1 E8 - Stark Holborn
    Sep 3 2024

    In what could possibly be the longest delay in releasing an episode ever, we found a lost recording! All the way back from season 1 we have the wonderful Stark Holborn discussing:
    - where cowboys/westerns belong in the bookstore.
    - Scott takes us on a deep dive on how to organise Dr Who books.
    - There is cautionary tale of plotter vs pantser, where the pantsers try to plot and it all goes very, very wrong.
    - Springsteen makes an appearance, despite RJ’s best efforts.
    - And RJ sets out a dastardly plan involving coconuts.

    We can only apologise for this episode getting lost in time, but it’s worth the wait, we promise!
