ABOUT WORKS~N~PROGRESS
WORKS~N~PROGRESS is an award-winning DISCOVERY ENGINE for WRITERS that pulls back the curtain on the creative process.
Hosted by award-winning author, screenwriter, and showrunner Monice Mitchell Simms, the series features honest, unfiltered conversations with writers and creators across genres—sharing their in-progress work, creative struggles, and breakthrough moments.
What makes this different: Stories don’t just get discussed—they’re performed.
Through live readings and cast performances, you experience writing off the page and in motion, giving you a deeper understanding of what makes storytelling work.
WORKS~N~PROGRESS exists to:
- Demystify the writing process
- Help writers trust their voice
- And inspire you to finish your story
Because you’re not stuck—you’re in progress.
