Are you dreaming of becoming a writer? Or are you simply looking for ways to ace your school essays? Then listening to podcasts about writing – a.k.a. writing podcasts – can help you reach your goal. Here’s a list of seven different types of writing podcasts that can boost your writing career.

1. General Writing Tips Podcasts

There are numerous writing podcasts that aim to help you in your writing process. They could provide you with tips and writing techniques to help you beat writers’ block or to discover your reason for writing. These tips can be quick; in about 15 minutes, the podcast Writing Excuses will provide you with different approaches to writing. Ann Kroeker, Writing Coach, is another podcast that helps you discover your identity as a writer.

2. Self Publishing Podcasts

How do you publish and market a written work yourself? The writing podcast The Self Publishing Show Podcast provides insights on how to write, launch, and market your own book. It’s a must-listen if you are an aspiring writer who doesn’t want to go through a publishing company to launch your work.

3. Copywriting Podcasts

If coming up with clever Instagram captions (which we believe Oatly does really good), or spot-on sales pitches – The Copywriter Club Podcast might be of help. Experts in the field are invited to fill the podcast with advice, inspiration, and encouragement on how to make it as a copywriter.

4. Storytelling Podcasts

Whether you are passionate about literature or professional writing, storytelling is extremely important. How do you capture and convince the reader with your story? Writing Class Radio provides you with insights on the craftmanship behind a story, and how to learn and grow in your storytelling.

5. Balancing Work, Life and Writing Podcasts

Regardless of what you want to write, work-life balance is important. If you’re wondering or simply need tips on how to balance work, life, and writing, the podcast Write Now with Sarah Werner is a good place to start. Listen to interviews with industry experts and experienced writers who give you hands-on tips on how to find a work-life balance and succeed in the field.

Writing in Suburbia is another podcast talking about balancing life and writing, primarily targeting professional writers going full-time.

6. Creative Writing Podcasts

Have you always wanted to write books or the script for video games or movies? Then useful advice can be acquired from the Creative Writing Career Podcast. In addition, one of the hosts – Justin Sloan – has been writing for video games based on shows like, “Game of Thrones” and “The Walking Dead.” Now, how cool is that?!

7. Building Your Online Platform Podcasts

A crucial part of becoming a writer also involves building your online platform to get your work out there. Create If Writing gives aspiring writers practical insights such as how to use social media, whether or not to market your first book, and how to build email lists. Lean back, listen, learn, and start building your platform.
