One of my fave podcasts. Packed full of insightful information about writing and the industry. Not only is the content really great but Holly & Gillian have such a great dynamic and friendship that it often feels like we are earwigging on their funny calls. Also very inspiring and motivating!

Hands down the best writing podcast I’ve listened to. Two writers talking to other writers about the craft. Its a bit like eavesdropping on a great conversation. Highly recommend!
Apple Podcasts5Kareena JaneAustralia3 years ago - An amazing podcast offering fantastic advice and comradeship for authors
I have read both Holly and Gilly for a few years now, but knew nothing about the podcast. What a fab by chance discovery this was two months ago. I’m an aspiring debut author (100k down of dirty first draft, now pruning) and I’ve listened to 90% already.
Thanks to both for taking the time and trouble. It’s like having two new “friends”.

I was bereft when I caught up as I now have to wait for new episodes to come out... I’ve found hearing about Holly and Gillian’s experiences fascinating and useful, plus the interviews with other authors and publishing professionals are great. I also really appreciate the fact it feels like you’re listening in to a conversation rather than being presented ... more
