Embracing the Fiction Author Journey

Welcome to Embracing the Fiction Author Journey (formerly Parents Who Write), the podcast that helps writers pursue their author dreams.

Join host, Erin P.T. Canning—an indie author, editor, book coach, and mom of two young boys—as she helps you make time for your writing, strengthen your voice, and gain confidence and direction, so you can own your identity as a writer and thrive as an author.

You’ll hear from other writers and authors who've been where you are and know what's coming next.

Learn what keeps them inspired, how they overcome imposter syndrome, and what they wish they'd known earlier. Gain writing, revision, publishing and marketing tips.

We’ll also talk about the craft of creative writing, including my personal favorite genres of fantasy, romance, and romantasy, and discuss techniques you can apply to your own manuscripts.

Enjoy the laughs, the writing tips, and the relief in knowing you’re not alone. Episodes release on Tuesdays.

Host

Erin P.T. Canning

Erin P.T. Canning has worked for more than 20 years as an editor and book coach, encouraging each writer’s individual voice and strengthening their writing goals.

She always planned to write a book, but life had a tendency to distract her. After dedicating six years to motherhood and discovering her ADHD, she started writing again, even though she feared her writing skills had atrophied.

Letting go of her perfectionism, Erin finished her own first draft and released her fantasy romance novel, Ruins and Redemption, in 2023. Her current role as a podcaster and book coach enables her to help writers pursue their author dreams.
