About

Write the Story

As my writing partner, Jesper, and I set out to create a new story, we decided to record our conversations. This turned into the ‘Write the Story’ podcast. A show dedicated to make you a better writer. To help you understand story structure better and use the methods we’ve attained after writing and publishing more than twenty books between us.

We’re both bestselling authors. We are writing coaches and the creators behind multiple author courses. We’re also the hosts of the former Am Writing Fantasy podcast. You get to listen in to our conversation about this new story of ours. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the process of creative writing.

Write the Story podcast is a limited series which starts late summer 2022.
