The Write It Scared Podcast
Write It Scared is a fiction writing podcast for aspiring and developing novelists who want to learn the craft of writing a novel, overcome self-doubt, and finish their books.
Hosted by certified book coach and novelist Stacy Frazer, the show explores story structure, character development, plotting, writing craft, revision, and the mindset challenges that come with writing fiction.
Through practical craft lessons, honest conversations with authors and publishing professionals, and encouragement for the messy creative process, you'll learn to write with more clarity, courage, and less isolation.
Because writing a novel is an inside job we don't have to do alone.
