Love these ladies. They are so seasoned and creative in how they approach the writing career. Listeners will have one author of the three whom they connect with most based on shared genre, but there is always a good, scratch that, many, takeaways.

Loved Jess’ recent episode on speaking!

Maybe i started listening at a bad time? I am in the ideation stage of a book and was so excited for the idea series. But the premise of the episode titles are not fulfilled, nor am i able to take away any actionable information, because of the meandering. I feel the book coach often is on the...Read full review »

Such a wide variety of topics and writers from different genres. Always shared with humor, heart and creativity. Thanks for keeping this podcast going!

I appreciate and value this podcast but in the past couple years I’ve noticed an uptick in the number of times a guest is interrupted by a host, or spoken over by a host. Especially apparent in the January 2023 episode with Julia Artz. Please try to stop interrupting guests! <3

I’ve loved diving into this podcast to feel more supported and less alone in my writing career. So much practical advice and with such a refreshing tone! On my regular rotation… ;-)

Huge fan of this show, such a help for writers of all levels. Really enjoying the blueprint series, and this episode was great - loved guest Savannah Gilbo’s commentary. Knowing how to create a characters depth and arc is key. Thanks!

I've been listening for years and these women have been my virtual cheerleaders for a budding writing career. That career is starting to take off now and I have these women to thank for their frank guidance and openness with their own writing highs and lows.

I started listening to this a few months ago and quickly became a paid subscriber — it’s that good! Jess, KJ and Sarina’s advice and inspiration are a delight to listen to and are also a treasure trove of wisdom. Actionable, interesting and engaging.
LisaLLewis via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/08/21
I listen to tons of podcasts but #AmWriting is the one I actively seek out every week. The conversations are engaging and fun, the information is incredibly useful, and it always helps inspire me to “get my butt in the chair” - 5 stars all the way!

This is one of my top writing inspiration and ideas podcasts. Now that I’ve listened to the entire history I save up a few to enjoy in a binge. Friendly, specific advice and great stories from people who are actually writing.

Practical writing advice. I learn something every episode.

There may be some good ideas here, but who has time to wade through all the puerile comments, incomplete sentences, platitudes, psychobabble, giggling &c &c?
Isabel Roser via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/24/19
Jess and KJ have saved my writing life with this podcast! More value on living a writer’s life than any other podcast on the subject. Love, love, love!
Klbraziel via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/03/19
Love when this podcast comes out on Fridays, it is entertaining to listen. I like the interviews and the topics discussed but even more the way they are discussed, lightly in a friendly bantery way but without loosing depth and actual information. I love the book recommendations.
Jvk977 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/21/19
I seem to be late to the game in finding this podcast. Have listened to a half-dozen or so episodes in the last couple of days and am loving it.

This is the only podcast for which I know the day it releases each week (Friday). Jess and KJ feel like my friends. Start from the beginning with older episodes to follow their writing journeys. I am always inspired to write after listening!

I came to this podcast about 6 months ago and proceeded to binge-listen the first 100 episodes (!) or so. I am working on my first major nonfiction project and this podcast has done so much for me. I got help with Scrivener. I stand up and stretch between writing sessions to save my back. I keep...Read full review »

#amwriting is a wonderful podcast that has great guests who provide practical and real-life tips for pushing ahead with your writing. I love the hosts as well - they are always honest and transparent about their process. Great mix of substance and personality!
roamingolivia via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/07/19
This is a podcast for all writers. As an academic and aspiring fiction writer, I’m glad I didn’t let their primary topic (nonfiction parenting) dissuade me from listening because this is the place where I’ve gotten the best writing tips. The hosts are generous and funny and I love their dynamic....Read full review »

I also found out about this podcast from Happier in Hollywood. I’m an apsiring non-fiction writer and you give sooo much good advice, but apart from that it’s just really fun to listen to! You are now up there with Happier and Happier in Hollywood - my top 3 favourite podcasts.

This is in my top 3 podcasts that I listen to weekly. Ditto the other reviewer, “I feel like it’s made for me,” it resonates so much. Love the #amreading segment, but really like it all👍

I discovered this podcast through a referral by Gretchen Rubin. I am both a published writer and an unproductive writer (lots of projects dying on the vine), and I wanted to surround myself with the voices of people who do writing all the time (the theory of "social contagion"). I have...Read full review »

I’ve listened to a bunch of creative podcasts by influencers and while they were helpful, none of them was quite right to my experience of being in the biz of freelance writing.
