Paul FitzSimons is a writer. He's also a talker. And so WordPlay was born. WordPlay is the weekly magazine Radio Show dedicated to All-Things-Writing. Novels, Screenplays, Teleplays, Radio Drama, Theatre, Short Stories, Writing Groups, Courses, blogging, plots, story arcs, character development. I'm sure there's more. We talk about the resources, services, funding and assistance is available to writers, as well as any events that are coming up. We also bring you regular interviews with special guests, who join us to talk about what they love about writing. Previous episodes have featured Roddy Doyle, the Zebbies, Inkwell Writers Workshop, Paul Soye, The Playwrights and Screenwriters Guild, Mark O'Connor and The Writers Centre. You can also drop us a line, through Facebook, Twitter or 'traditional' email, if there's something writing-related that you think we should talk about.
