Welcome to The WIP Show – Where Writing Gets Real!
Ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes of a book? Not the polished, final version you see on shelves—but the messy drafts, the relentless rewrites, the existential crises, and the “Am I a genius or is this terrible?” moments? Well, The WIP Show is here to spill the ink!
This isn’t your average author interview series. The WIP Show (Writing in Progress) is a deep dive into the creative process, where accomplished authors, publishers, and literary minds share the raw, unfiltered reality of writing. We talk about the challenges, the triumphs, and the sheer chaos that comes with crafting a story. From characters that refused to behave to plot twists that almost didn’t happen—this show is all about the alchemy of storytelling.
What Makes The WIP Show Different?
Most book discussions focus on the finished product—the shiny, edited, and ready-to-sell book. But here, we rewind the clock and step into the work-in-progress phase—that messy, unpredictable, and utterly magical space where ideas are born and stories take shape.
Think of this as a backstage pass to the literary world. We go beyond the book’s blurb and talk about:
📌 The first sparks of inspiration—because every book begins somewhere.
📌 The hardest parts of writing—writer’s block, research rabbit holes, and those “why did I start this?” moments.
📌 The weirdest writing rituals—coffee addictions, color-coded notes, or pacing in circles until the perfect sentence appears.
📌 How authors breathe life into characters—and what happens when those characters take over.
📌 Editing nightmares and publishing realities—because finishing a book is only the beginning.
Who’s Behind The WIP Show?
The show is hosted by Namrata, the Founder of Keemiya Creatives and BookBots India, two leading literary platforms dedicated to book marketing, publishing, and writing mentorship. She’s also the Editor at Kitaab, a widely respected literary journal. With years of experience working with authors and publishers, Namrata brings insightful, well-researched, and engaging conversations to every episode.
Her goal? To create a space where writers feel seen, readers get a peek into the creative process, and stories are celebrated not just for their endings, but for their beginnings.
