  • Always recommending this!

    I belong to a couple writing groups and when other writers are asking for tips on writing, editing, drafts, story/theme, etc. I always find myself saying “Ya know, Marion just interviewed someone on her podcast about this!” I love her interview style and tendency for blending encouragement with craft. Thanks for producing this!! - Joan

  • Matt Mendez

    Marion’s interview with Matt Mendez was exceptional. We should all listen to his wise words regarding the difference between a writer and an author in this time of book banning. So helpful. Also his “mechanic’s” approach to editing is fun and insightful. Great work Matt and Marion!
