- Loving it
This has become my comfort podcast, and my favorite podcast ever. The earnest nature of the hosts, the brutal honesty and yet continuation to uplift hope, the way we get to actually follow through so much of their publishing processes by their sides and learn from it? It’s all amazing, and much-needed for writers like me in this stage of the process.
This writing this is so hard, and it’s great to find authors who encapsulate this difficulty while also maintaining all the possibilities. I am o... more

I recently discovered Write Where It Hurts and have already recommended it to several friends. If you’re a writer going through all the feels, this is the pod for you.
Apple Podcasts5ssjstrUnited States3 years ago - Soulful and True
Write Where it Hurts has been my favorite companion to listen to these past months, when writing started to feel possible again. Soulful and true, each topic is approached with nuance, care, humor, and heart. I feel seen in a way few other writing podcasts have managed, and cannot wait for the conversations to come!
Apple Podcasts5MardelzorUnited States4 years ago - This podcast is fantastic!
I am not a podcast person. Usually I don’t have the quiet time to listen to them and I’d rather spend my free time doing something too engaging for chatter in the background but boy did this podcast prove me wrong. Both of the hosts are engaging and genuine. Their friendship and candor shines in each conversation and that draws the listener in and gets them emotionally invested (honestly I want to find them on Instagram and make them be my friends). The content is equal parts relatable, relevant... more
Apple Podcasts5acekgrayUnited States4 years ago - Love these conversations!
My new favorite writing podcast! I really appreciate all the honest, insightful discussion and have felt very seen and validated while listening to the first several episodes. Katryn and Eva’s conversations are warm and funny even as they delve into some tough topics, and they give me a lot to think about.
Apple Podcasts5Entertaining and inspiring!United States4 years ago - Like a warm bath of understanding
Hey, publishing friends and fiends this iis my new favorite publishing podcast. Last Jan, I felt the need to totally separate myself from publishing news and updates and thinkcasts and I unsubscribed from a lot of it. However, this is one that I'm now anticipating every week.
For the anxious creators among us -- is that all of us, maybe? -- this podcast feels a bit like therapy* and a bit like commiserating with your fellow authors Who Get It.
*not a substitute for actual therapy, of course.

Apple Podcasts5GrubReportUnited States4 years ago - Real and endearing
The authenticity brought to Eva and Kate’s discussions makes this podcast so special to listen to. They are thoughtful and transparent (and funny!!) and it is so interesting and fun to listen to them talk about topics that exist in their chosen profession but also transcend it to mental health topics in other professions. I’m hooked!
Apple Podcasts5DDGuestUnited States4 years ago - Getting Real
Immediacy and authenticity describe this writerly podcast from the inside of the writing room. The gold gleaned from Eva’s and Katryn’s journeys of putting their books out into the world, the highs and lows, moments of ecstasy and agony, ring out with laughter, while making space for the quiet pause where tears are born. The podcasters share their strategies for dealing with the mental and emotional challenges of writing as calling, while confronting the business of publishing. Listen with delig... more
