An attempt at stealing the powers of successful writers.

Why Writing Better exists

Writers are often taught to separate the art from the business. The people who build durable writing careers rarely do. Writing Better asks working ghostwriters, editors, authors, book coaches, and publishing professionals how they improve the work, find the right clients, price their expertise, finish books, and keep going.

What the show explores

Ghostwriting, nonfiction storytelling, first drafts, editing, artificial intelligence, book development, publishing, launching, client relationships, pricing, and the habits behind a professional writing life.

Where the episodes live

The show began with its own Spotify feed. The series later moved into Podcasts of Timmy Bauer alongside Timmy’s other shows. This site brings the Writing Better episodes back together in one focused archive.
