The Writing Bull Podcast is a show for fearless writers: Poets, novelists and memoirists who are committed to the written word, who can't live life without it. Marcos McPeek Villatoro, who writes in all three genres and holds the Fletcher Jones Endowed Chair of Creative Writing at Mount St. Mary's University, Los Angeles, invites you into his classroom to consider all the aspects of writing. Here you'll find everything from the "how-to" suggestions (such as how to create characters, or make of yourself a character in your own memoir), to the bigger questions: why do we do this in the first place? What are the risks of writing our own work? And what are the glories? If you crave the written word, this is your podcast.
