  • The perfect listening on all things writing craft

    Congratulations on this second season. Once again the content was helpful, for me they were little reminders on what I’m doing well and on track and what I need to remember as an author. I’ve just caught up with most of the podcasts I missed due to a very busy schedule and what a celebratory gift to getting all my tasks done—an afternoon with **Ask the Author** . I especially loved the episode on “How to increase discoverability of your book”. I just published my first novel and listening to thi... more

Continuing to w... more

  • A fabulous writing podcast

    I’ve been following Jodi on socials for years now—since I purchased her second book The Five Year Plan. The information Jodi provides on the podcast is informative and helpful. Her knowledge of the writing craft is indepth. I love the concept and when I listen I learn something new, or I am reminded of others craft elements and advice. Her vocal tone is easy and sooting to listen to and she presents the information with clarity and finese. I look forward for each new episode to drop. A fan for ... more
