WriterFest Podcast celebrates writers of book, song, & film--those magical, mysterious minds who pen the books we read, the songs we sing, & the shows & films we binge.

I’m Ami McConnell, publishing veteran, book doctor, & author. As the founder and director of WriterFest Nashville, the annual in-person gathering, I invite you to join me for in-depth conversations with some of my favorite writers. We talk about the craft & the commerce aspects of the business and the joys and perils of a creative life. Booksellers, producers, agents, editors, marketers & managers join me on the show so we can get their point of view. If you love books, films, songs, and the written word, this ‘Fest is for you.
