“So the earlier episodes of this podcast seemed really informative in a fun and interesting way, but the more it went on the more preachy it got and the more complaining it contained... I would say if he episodes available, only the first 3 or 4 are of any use.”

“I love Create If Writing because it does so much. Sometimes there are updates on current trends or algorithms changes on social media. Lately there was been immeasurably good advice on self-publishing and marketing on a shoestring. No matter what the topic, Kirsten gives authentic, real advice.”
