“Listening to the Jennifer Lauer episode. Less than stellar interview skills. Leave yourself out of it, stop with the “let me stop you right there” stuff, and directing/leading her on what to say. Listen to some successful podcasts and see what you can glean from how they interview. Otherwise...”Read full review »

“Listening to Savannah helped me start writing again after my agent said I need to start over. The idea was there but the structure was not. These episodes have helped me understand structure and have made it straightforward to get writing again. After three weeks, I’m half way through my rewrite.”

“A lot of useful information and Zoe laid out the thought process well of why writers should look to have the best possible book cover created for their work, and why her website would be very helpful in that process.
One thing that was confusing was the actual final selection of your book...”Read full review »

“I find Savannah’s advice to be useful in my novel writing. I’d like that she focuses on character and plot, using examples from other books. Although I do not write the kind of books that she mostly talks about, those books appeal to a lot of readers and also keep people turning the page and I...”Read full review »

Only one complaint, she says “that’s all for todays episode” or some form of it, like three time per episode, at least in the earlier episodes (I haven’t listened to the later ones). It’s really annoying,...”Read full review »

“I really enjoyed listening to this show and got a lot of out of it. I’m unfollowing today because of the ongoing focus on transphobic hate mongerer JK Rowling. I could look past making the occasional reference to a HP book, but uplifting authors that incite hatred -I can’t stay on board for that.”
