“Lot of material out there for this retired write-for-fun guy, but Ms. Weiland presents it on an authoritative level. Plus her books are pretty good, too.”

“Burnout is real. In this episode about six ways to come back from being burned out, Katie offers useful insights and practical exercises.
She cares for the whole writer. I appreciate the scope of her content that reaches heart, mind, soul, and spirit of this author.”

“Although I work in a completely different writing genre, Helping Writers Become Authors has become my most valued writing guide. Weiland’s wisdom is instinctive, theoretically solid, and grounded in years of her own disciplined work as a writer. This podcast is as comprehensive as a college...”Read full review »

“K.M. Weiland has tremendous, game-changing (and illuminating) insights for all story writers! You’ll get lots of useful nuggets in every episode, so definitely listen and apply what you’re learning. Also, I highly recommend reading her book, “Creating Character Arcs” for all the same reasons.”

The only critique is that some of the episodes go way too far into the woods on opinion and philosophical psychology and character and gets way too complicated on unnecessary info. I think those episodes could bog...”Read full review »

“Each episode is really short, which is one of the things that drew me to listen, but the first several minutes of each episode is rambling and self promos, meaning that each episode is only about 2-3 min of useful material.
