The Origin

The Merry Writer was originally a question prompt hashtag game, I started over on Twitter and Instagram back in 2018. Then in 2020, during the pandemic it morphed into the podcast it is now!

This podcast is hosted by me, Ari Meghlen and my awesome friend and fellow author Rachel Poli.

A fun, friendly show where we discuss all things writing and bookish, share news, advice and personal experiences on our own writing journeys by asking all the “write” questions! 

Each episode has a single over-arching question that we discuss. We sometimes even convince other writers to join us!

We often have guests on the podcast, to answer questions and share their experiences. These can be published authors, unpublished writers, editors, book artists, book marketing gurus etc.
