  • Great writing podcast!!

    I love this podcast! I have finally finished the entire back catalog and I hope you all will continue. It’s perfect for the short and sweet advice when I’m driving to work. There have been multiple times where I’ve had to pause and send myself a voice note of your advice because it’s been like the aha moment for me in my writing!

  • Fantastic Thoughtful Fun!

    This is a great podcast for writers, especially those preparing for or in the querying trenches!! It’s entertaining, informative, and smart. Love the guests they have had! And so awesome that they give back by doing critiques, too. My only complaint... that the episodes aren’t more frequent. Well done LitService!!!
