Ep 3: How to make it as a writer when you haven't sworn very much - with Eli McCann

Rebbie is in the church while Eli is out, Rebbie hasn’t tweeted in years while Eli has 80k followers. But for all our differences we share a love of Mormon stories and a distaste for hearing them told just one way. In this episode, we discuss how Mormonism has shaped our creative paths, how the comments hit harder when you're writing on religion, and we even pitch the books we’ve written that no one wants to publish (yet!). It’s a compliment fight between two people who will someday, mark our words, be David Sedarises!


Some of Eli's writing we reference:

- Growing up in the heart of Mormonism

- When a senior missionary offered to take he and his husband's photo

- Coming out to the best family ever


And Rebbie's:

- I sold my sanity for the perfect family picture

- Missionary season in Utah County will melt your cold dead heart
