  • Highly recommended

    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!

  • Truly the best writing podcast

    I’ve been listening to HA for years and absolutely adore it. I’ve now got my first book coming out and am relistening to old episodes which seem even more relevant years later. Funny, clever, and of course, honest.
