“This is the only one I actually wait for and listen to as soon as it comes out. I will admit I miss the longer format (it was great for when I was making dinner!) but I’d rather have shorter episodes than none at all. The information is always up to date, presented in a way that both informs and...”Read full review »

“This is one of the very few shows I continue to listen to over the years.
As an indie author, I have so much information to digest (and act upon) on an ongoing basis.
I dare say that this show is all you need, just an hour a week, to stay on top of the latest in the indie author and...”Read full review »

“I've been an indie author for over ten years now, and the Sell More Books Show has been a critical part of my weekly routine for a lot of that time. I rely on Bryan & Claire to learn what's new in the industry, and to give me valuable ideas on how to be better at this work.”Read full review »

On the downside, the presence of the oddly-named femme has diminished Bryan’s brainpower, too.
