“Recently listened to the newest episode and found it really repetitive. They self proclaimed to be critics of the industry but that’s it. They criticize. I’m not getting a lot of new information. And this episode I found Erik to have a holier than thou attitude and never stops reminding us that...”Read full review »

“I recommend this podcast to all the writers I know. Anyone who’s considering querying literary agents should give this podcast a try. I had a bad experience with my first agent, so I wish I’d known more about what I should expect and what red flags to watch out for. Check this podcast out and...”Read full review »

“I think the two hosts do a fine job relaying useful information, it’s just it’s very distracting when they can’t go a sentence without saying “you know?” In some sentences they used it up to three times and I found myself clinging onto those two words waiting for the shoe to drop. It was to the...”Read full review »
