    Amy Allen Clark chooses a fascinating panoply of authors to come talk about the story they wrote and their own life story. There’s nothing boiler-plate about this insightful, informative podcast that appeals to both readers and writers. I especially enjoy the guests’ comments on writing craft and their tales of triumph over adversity.

  • Great book/author pics

    New to this book podcast and I’m so glad to have found it. Amy’s passion for sharing books comes through in the insightful questions she asks authors in every single episode. The adjacent book recommendations for each episode are great. Her reading taste aligns with mine so that is definitely a bonus. Not many book podcasts are interviewing authors anymore. So happy to have found one that does.
