Says Mur: If you’re an amateur (fledgling, wanna-be, dreamer) writer, then you’ve probably got questions. From “how do I put this idea on paper” to “what do I put on a cover letter?”
I Should Be Writing is the award-winning writing podcast from Mur Lafferty. It’s a podcast for the wanna-be writer, someone who had always wanted to write but just hadn’t for… whatever reason. Mur’s still a wanna-be, trying to get published long enough to actually have learned something, or, at least, what not to do. The show features a report on Mur keeping herself honest, talk on writing, one or more interviews with a pro writer, and feedback.
ISBW is also a writing blog with a daily writing prompt called the News From Poughkeepsie, contributed by Jared Axelrod. The show notes are written with loving detail by Carrie Kei Heim Binas.
Mur is a freelance writer, podcast producer, geek, fangirl and mother. She’s been published in Escape Pod, Hub, and has two books in print (Playing For Keeps and Tricks of the Podcasting Masters.) She is represented by Brandi Bowles, of Howard Morhaim Literary Agency.




























Mur Lafferty is one of most prolific and loved podcasters. I don’t know how this amazing woman finds time for family, podcasting, life in general, and she still manages to keep writing. If you have any interest at all in writing, you should be listening.
