  • Truly helpful and inspiring

    As an author and writer I feel like there is SO MUCH out there that promises to be helpful. Where do you even begin? If I may: here is a great place to start! Ariel and Liz are so knowledgeable and refreshing to listen to. Because they quote from so many other experts, they have a wealth of well-curated information to share. I especially found the “Mining for Content” episode super helpful and affirming. Thank you both, and can’t wait to listen to more!

  • Perfect for aspiring authors!

    As an aspiring author, this podcast is perfect. I learn something valuable each and every time I listen. Liz and Ariel also provide some hard truths but do not leave you feeling helpless.

Just like a teacher who can help information stick through engaging stories, Liz and Ariel are able to teach you things that you will never forget. If I could draw up a dream wa... more

  • So glad I joined

    I have had the pleasure of working with Ariel on my memoir- it was such a good experience and I wasn’t ready to let go (not like in a creepy way) and am so glad I jumped on the podcast. I was already sold from working with Ariel but when Liz started referencing authors and books that are my jam - it only made me love this podcast harder. As an über green author they give me not only concrete tools, suggestions, and guidance but also hope - which is sometimes the hardest resource to summon.
