Write. Publish. Market. At First Draught we love a good brew (or bourbon) almost as much as we love our writing. So we decided to combine the two! Each month you'll find a new episode about the craft of writing a good book, or a discussion on handling the publishing industry.

Customer Reviews
I feel like they’re my best writing friends
They’re so open and honest. Great show!!!
Great for writers
Lots of valuable information for writers in different phases and honest discussion of publishing life and how to get it all done
Great Resource for Romance Writes
I was lucky to stumble across this podcast a few months ago and I'm so glad I did. These ladies are extremely knowledgable in the world of romance from author's craft all the way to publishing and they always have a great drink in hand! I have even emailed the group to ask follow up questions about craft and was pleasantly surprised to receive not only an answer, but advice and places where I can find more information. These ladies are intelligent and fun. I love this podcast!
