Writers Drinking Whiskey is not your granddad’s writers-selling-their-books podcast. It is a celebration of stories and storytellers, and we probably talk about life, dealing with adversity, overcoming failure and rejection, how to make a kickass cocktail, pet peeves, guilty pleasures, and everything else thrice as much as we talk writing craft and publishing. If I’m trying to sell anything, it’s the author, and if you watch an episode and fall in love with a guest, there’s a GREAT chance they’ll show up again and again.
What is it about darkness that intrigues us, even beckons us? Join us as we delve into the darkness of madness and monsters, and somehow manage to laugh despite the fear.
Today’s drinking game: drink whenever we say “horror!”

William R. Hincy: “Some people run from their demons; others sit down and have cocktails with theirs.” William R. Hincy is a man who does and writes about the latter. Having become a writer after deciding it was the only sensible thing for a problem drinker to do, Hincy aspires to use literature to connect society on an emotional level through characters who no longer create messes but have instead become the mess. Between rounds, Hincy has won 3 American Fiction Awards, an International Book Award, and his personal anthology of short fiction WITHOUT EXPIRATION was named one of the Best Books of 2020 by Kirkus Reviews. He now lives outside Los Angeles with his wife and kids, having found solace in the notion that the only things sacred are self and whiskey-winged interludes.
