Spencer Church

A former aspiring comic book artist, Spencer is the cohost of the DPW Podcast as well as a short story writer and avid reader.

We start today’s episode with some excellent publication news, and then quickly digress into a best storyteller tier list.

After that, we attempt to finish discussing a list of the top 51 amazing lines of prose. Here’s a bit of a spoiler, most of the lines are neither amazing nor worthy of being on such a list. Our disgruntled rebuttals are peppered throughout.
