Reviews
- Long time listener
Long time listener here (since the first episode in real time!) & what I love most about this podcast is the long first time behind-the-scenes look at Katherine Collette’s publishing journey (and the interview with George Saunders;)!!!) So I am very excited to hear we’re going to go on another #FollowAFirstTimer journey with Megan Rogers next year. Wahoo!

The first time can be a bit painful. This poddy is a nice smelling balm to all your anxieties, doubts and woes. Good for established and soon-to-be published authors alike.
