This first episode of Wordsmithing is a short introduction to your hosts; Rachael Rayne and Jo Morningstar. Two self-published authors still working out how to play the game! Join them as they navigate the creative world of writing and self-publishing. Each episode will cover a different topic designed to help budding writers improve their craft as well as ironing out the wrinkles through trial and error to help each other and those that want to publish but don't know where to start. Uncensored and raw (not for little ears, there's swearing and such) Rachael and Jo aim to be authentic and funny as well as informative and helpful, they will let you be the judge of whether they are successful or not.
