Transparent conversations with authors, agents, and people in the publishing industry about how to write and sell books. The title is a nod to the famous (potentially misattributed) Hemingway quote: “There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” Sign up for The Bleeders companion Substack! https://thebleeders.substack.com/welcome ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-bleeders-about-book-writing-publishing-5493360 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bleeders-about-book-writing-publishing-5493360.md ## Episodes -
