  • Fabulous experience!

    As a fan of this podcast, I was so honored to be asked on to discuss my debut novel. From the initial emails, Amy was so kind, professional and organized. I have greatly enjoyed her conversations with other authors- her questions are thoughtful and well-researched, and the podcast is masterfully produced! Can’t wait to listen to her next episode.
