Making It Up Podcast
With Carter Wilson
Every Writer You Admire is Just Making It Up
Making It Up is an unscripted video podcast about the real work of being a writer. Each episode is a deep, unplanned conversation with writers at every stage of the journey.
New York Times bestselling authors. Award winners. Debut novelists just getting started. No prepared questions. No talking points. We follow the conversation wherever it goes. We talk about where stories really come from.
Childhood influences. Fear. Discipline. Luck. Loss. Publishing highs and lows. The long stretches in between that rarely get talked about. At the end of every episode, we put the philosophy into practice. We choose a random sentence from a random book and use it to create an impromptu short story. No prep. No outline. Just making something out of nothing. If you write, this show is for you.
