“I belong to a couple writing groups and when other writers are asking for tips on writing, editing, drafts, story/theme, etc. I always find myself saying “Ya know, Marion just interviewed someone on her podcast about this!” I love her interview style and tendency for blending encouragement with...”Read full review »

“Marion’s interview with Matt Mendez was exceptional. We should all listen to his wise words regarding the difference between a writer and an author in this time of book banning. So helpful. Also his “mechanic’s” approach to editing is fun and insightful. Great work Matt and Marion!”

“Just listened to Marion‘s interview #108 with Allison K. Williams (GuerillaMarketing).
There were so many takeaways in weaving elements of Marion’s The Memoir Project with Allison’s Seven Drafts (both their books are heavily marked up!).
Marion’s algebraic formula: it’s about “x” as...”Read full review »

“Marion comes to the interview prepared. She reads the book, and asks deep, probing questions that provoke true conversation. Her podcast has diverse topics, and though she asks the same one or two questions of the people she interviews, each conversation is unique, delightful and filled with...”Read full review »

“I inevitably wish the episodes were longer because Marion never lingers in the shallow end of the pool. She dives deep, and her guests love the excellent questions, the invitation to think about structure, audience, and thesis. Often they say no one has asked them this question. Marion draws out...”Read full review »

“Marian’s show is
professional (well produced)
efficient (no time wasting chit chat)
funny (she’s got a great sense of humor)
And best of all
instructive (most of her questions to writers are essentially how did you do this?)
It makes a good listen.”
