‘The best writing podcast’
David Nicholls, author of One Day

‘Crisell is an engaging interviewer who puts her subjects at ease so that they speak freely and frankly about the realities of life as a full-time writer – not least the horror of the blank page’
Podcasts that will teach you how to write, The Guardian

‘If you're interested at all in the process of writing, or you just want to learn more about what it takes and what makes a great writer, then I really recommend In Writing’
Pandora Sykes, The High Low podcast

‘Each episode offers a similar comforting reminder that failure and self-doubt are universal … Listen to In Writing and you’ll feel better about writing’
RTS Television magazine

‘Hattie's podcast is really great for hearing from people all over the writing and creating sphere… You hear these amazing people, and you hear how they do their thing and you get inspiration from that – but also you hear that they have the same worries as you, and you feel a bit better about yourself’
Podcast Radio Hour, BBC Radio 4 Extra

‘[Hattie’s] combination of easy charm and sharp journalistic instincts allow her to trace every step of these writers’ journeys and tease out the minutiae of exactly how they do what they do. Her interviewees respond in kind, peeling back the layers of their process and revealing their failures as well as their successes’
Barry Divola, The Sydney Morning Herald

‘I love this series, in which Hattie chats to a brilliant range of authors, poets and journalists to gain an insight into their creative minds’
Bethan Holt, The Telegraph

‘If you’ve been spending the past few months in a stained vest chain-smoking late into the night over your typewriter as you agonise your way through writing the Great Lockdown Novel, you need to listen to Hattie Crisell’s podcast In Writing’
James Marriott, The Times

‘The lifestyle of a writer is often romanticised. Thanks to these interviews with novelists, journalists, songwriters and screenwriters, every element of a professional’s routine is revealed, from Lucy Prebble’s description of the Succession writer’s room to Grace Dent’s fondness for working in bed’
