  • Please stop promoting use of AI

    I’m disappointed to hear you encourage authors to use ChatGPT, especially since it was developed using the stolen work of thousands of authors. We’re writers. We can write our own content and communications, and we won’t destroy the environment in the process. Please rethink your advice and use of AI.

  • A treasure trove of book marketing ideas

    This is the only book marketing podcast I listen to. These ladies are absolute pros. I recommend going back and listening to every single episode — even ones that don’t seem pertinent. The wealth of information is astounding. Much of it has made a tangible difference in how I market my books. Five+++++ stars.
