Writing Battle Nano '24 with Maggie & Trey

08/10/24 • 61 min

It's our favorite Writing Battle Tradition!
2 time champion, Maggie Schreier, and reigning co-MVW, Trey Dowell, join Justin & Jon to talk this season's Writing Battle.
This episode was recorded live on the night it all started, with each author's genuine reaction to the genres and prompts they received. (Nothing identifiable was shared, of course!)
If you feel like you need *more* Writing Battle in your life between these nano-duels, you've come to the right place!
