There's a lot of great writing out there, most of which you'll never know exists. Fortunately, I know how to find fabulous writing with a compelling back story. You'll hear a writer read 2-5 minutes of their work, then we discuss the why the hell they wrote it (which is as fascinating as the writing itself). Yeah, I add my own thoughts at the end because I always think I have something insightful to say. (Psst... it can be any type of writing - horror, fiction, comedy, TV pilot, etc. - and any kind of writer. One never knows when genius will strike.)
