The authenticity in this podcast and its hosts keeps me coming back. They offer a true version of the author life and let us along as they work through all the problems the rest of us writers face too. I feel like they’re my virtual critique group!

I’m smitten with the BookSmitten podcast! Binged several episodes back to back on a long Michigan road trip and found the content to be helpful, hopeful, real and fresh. Heather, Jack, Kelly, and Patrick each bring a unique perspective and the energy created by the group reminds listeners that it takes a village to create good books! Carrie Pearson, author
Apple Podcasts5bookyooperUnited States3 years ago - Upbeat perspective on young people and reading
Episodes are wide ranging, presenting a variety of approaches to writing for children and teens, societal pressures and opportunities, and what & how children grow with books. Lots of good references to specific books with a little bit about why they're good or important. Episodes are all free-standing; you can listen in any order. They vary from 25 to 45 minutes long. Delightful to listen to these authors.
