“I stumbled across this podcast whilst looking for an interview featuring Charlie Brooker and I’m glad I did. Every episode is a fascinating and often very funny insight into the processes and habits of various writers and artists. Hattie is a brilliant unobtrusive interviewer and this is a gem....”Read full review »

“Hattie has a great interview style. She lets the author be the star, her questions are gently probing and interesting, she seems like a friendly person you want to chat with, she asks the questions I’d like to ask. I’m learning so such about writing. Please keep going Hattie!”

“I listen to many writing podcasts and this is the best of the best. Hattie is a great interviewer and manages to illicit interesting writing craft advice from all her guests. And I love the ice-breaker question she asks of everyone “Describe where you write.””

“As a reader and fiction writer—and writing podcast devotee—I find this one of the best of its sort. Even writers whom I’ve heard in other interviews seem to enter into new territory while chatting with Hattie. Only “complaint” is a bias against long books. Love to hear a writer resist the idea here.”
