Welcome to The Write Song! Join host Kat Kourbeti as she sits down with some of the most talented fiction writers to explore the power of music to inspire creativity, evoke emotions, and capture the essence of a story as each writer shares a playlist of songs that inspired a project of theirs, from short stories and novels to screenplays and games, and with every song we get a glimpse into the writer’s artistic process, creative vision, and personal journey.
