As a long-time listener, I love the variety in the topics the hosts cover. Always something new and helpful and insightful. Thanks!
Love this podcast! Jess and KJ are so fun and inspirational to listen to and I listen to #AmWriting to help me improve my writer knowledge. If you are a writer, this is an absolute must!
I loved this podcast but lately it’s very clear it’s become a free marketing channel for promoting an absurdly expensive book coaching program that mostly targets women. Gives me the ick.
I’m tuning in for the first time and listening to the 2025 Blueprint Challenge. While I can see the benefit for writers at all levels, this will be perfect for me in the revision stages. Not to mention the information and advice in the regular podcasts.
I enjoy the idea of learning my craft to the point that I can feel confident enough to get to work on a project. This podcast delivers information about the process of writing and structuring a story, in a fun and educational way!
