Ready for a new podcast? Our newest episode features two National Book Critics Circle award-honored novelists, Ben Fountain and Amy Tan, reading from their work and talking with NBCC Vice President/Online Jane Ciabattari about inspiration, research, readers, awards, the unique challenges of first novels, and the imaginative process that gives their work originality. Since 1974, the National Book Critics Circle awards have honored the best literature published in English. These are the only awards chosen by the critics themselves.

It's Wednesday, which means it's time for a new podcast! This week's episode features award-winning nonfiction author Erik Larson and David Guterson, who reads from his recent collection of poetry. After the readings, Peter Mountford moderates a conversation about the authors' work, their research methods, and literary arts in the Pacific Northwest. Nothing like some nonfiction, poetry, and good conversation to get you through Hump Day. https://www.awpwriter.org/magazine_media/podcast_view/294

Happy Podcast Wednesday! Listen to our newest episode, which features readings from award-winning authors Gish Jen and Tobias Wolff, followed by a conversation moderated by Jess Walter, who had a starring role in last week's podcast. For legal reasons, AWP can't guarantee that listening to this podcast will make your Wednesday better, but we have a feeling it will.

Were you thinking you could use a podcast featuring Chuck Pahalniuk, Jess Walter, Cal Morgan, and Monica Drake to spice up your Wednesday? What a coincidence, so were we! We have so much in common! Listen to award-winning authors Jess Walter and Chuck Palahniuk sit down with editor Calvert Morgan of HarperCollins, who edits Walter's work, and Monica Drake, who is in a writing group with Pahalniuk, to discuss the alchemy behind creating such great works of fiction as "Beautiful Ruins" and "Doomed." More than just a conversation on the nuts and bolts of getting a book published, they will look at how the author/editor relationship affects the novel on the shelf. https://www.awpwriter.org/magazine_media/podcast_view/292
