About
the show
Charlie and Caitlyn met after signing with the same literary agent within a few months of one another. Caitlyn invited Charlie to her house. Charlie ate her food. They've been best friends ever since, and even managed to cowrite a book despite their phenomenally different approaches to writing.
Your Mom Writes Books is essentially the conversations we're (see how we switched to the first-person narrative there) having on the phone anyway, and since one of us usually knows something the other doesn't, we thought maybe these conversations would be useful to readers, other writers, and people who are really bored at the gym.​
