I found Kristen’s podcast last week after she was a guest on the Sell More Books Show. I’ve been listening to author podcasts for a little over a year and have covered all the basics. Kristen’s podcast is a breath of fresh air. She’s my new favorite. Optimistic, real, and entertaining. ...Read full review »

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’m a new listener, but already want to devour every episode! Kirsten gives in-depth, easy-to-understand, and practical steps to find success as an indie author. I highly recommend this podcast.

This podcast is amazing. Kirsten has helped me focus in on my creative writing, learn how to start marketing my work and, of course, the importance of email lists! If you’re a writer and want to self publish, listen here!

This podcaster is totally legitimate. I love listening to her tips and always come away having learned something. I’m still a bit new, but I’ve shared all five episodes I’ve listened to with my writing friend because they were so helpful.

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.

Okay, okay so Kirsten isn't REALLY my writing BFF but every time I download (which is always) and listen to one of her episodes, I feel like I'm talking to my writing BFF.
