- My go-to podcast as an author!
In a past life, I worked as a marketing executive for a Fortune 50 company, and Penny and Amy are hands down my favorite team to listen to about book marketing. They understand both the market and the realities authors face, and they provide practical advice you can actually use.
Whether you’re pursuing traditional publishing or going indie, they will have marketing advice you can use today. I’ve shared this podcast with several fellow authors, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Amy and Penny have a depth of experience and they’re in the business of book marketing full time. This means they have perspectives many authors never have a chance to develop. Highly recommended!
Apple Podcasts5SkiffymomUnited States5 months ago - Súper helpful with a dose of humor!
I look forward to this podcast every week. I am a new children’s book author this podcast is my favorite for authors. The topics are always relevant and given with the perfect dose of humor and realism. I’ve already implemented so many strategies for my new book and have seen them pay off! This week it was making a Bo the Boat Spotify playlist 😄 Thank you Penny and Amy!
Apple Podcasts5Clare ShortUnited States8 months ago - Helpful, actionable, and FUNNY
An author friend recently asked me to help her with marketing and promotions. I knew nothing about promoting a book and so I have been listening to your podcast to get educated. I laugh almost every episode and I’m even sharing it with non-author business owners, who are trying to market businesses in different niches.
My favorite quote is, “Just eat your broccoli. You’re not entitled to anything.”
Apple Podcasts5Gardener KatieUnited States9 months ago - Love it!
I try to listen to podcasts every day at the gym or in my car. After publishing my true crime memoir (Walking Proof) and getting scammed by a so called marketing company, I decided to handle my own marketing on a very tight budget. You’ve given me so many valuable ideas—some have already paid off. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
