“Sunyi and Scott are the real deal. Besides the great content, too few are willing to expose their souls (and their industry). For that courage alone: five stars.”

“They lift a veil on the publishing industry by talking to authors-and other publishing professionals and detailing their own experiences-- both the good and painful. Take notes, pay attention. There's great advice here. It's worth a listen.”Read full review »

“Hi, I’m really enjoying this. Everyone’s path to publication is so different. It’s great to get the details of a world that’s usually closed and the highs and the lows. It’s nice to hear a variety of guests - some who have incredible high journeys and some that have struggled. This was recced in...”Read full review »
