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 »

Been listening since the Jim days. I’m glad Jim is gone. I’m glad Clair is gone. I hope Brian will have the confidence to stay solo. He’s really all we need.

This is my favorite podcast. I love the humor and banter and that it’s fresh info every week as they touch on the news. This is one podcast I never miss.

Lovely mix of news, tips and interviews to the backdrop of the two hosts’ great humor!
OskarSIndie via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 10/16/22
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 enjoy so much about this show. The commentators are well informed and engaging. They highlight relevant information for indie authors and share breaking news. So useful!

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 »

Great content and perspectives. Thanks Claire and Bryan!

One of my favorite Indy author podcasts. Relevant news and tips each week.
Jon-777 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/21
I have been listening to this show for a few weeks now and am probably fifteen or so episodes in, and I am learning so much! I’ve been writing for pleasure my entire life but recently decided to take the plunge and write to publish, and this show makes me feel like I have a connection to the...Read full review »

I don’t know when Jim Kukral left, but he’s the reason I stopped listening. Now that he’s gone Bryan’s positivity is matched with so much better with Claire’s upbeat personality. They do a great job of keeping up with the news and giving great tips without all that relentless naysaying that Jim...Read full review »

Everything you need to know about the latest news in the publishing world plus advice and opinion from hosts worth listening to. Listening to this podcast while I drive has replaced pretty every writers’ magazine I used read!
Your TV Magic Pal via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/24/21
I just started listening in January 2021, although I’ve been an indie author since 2014. I wish I would’ve discovered this show sooner. The hosts are honest, funny, entertaining, informational, and perhaps most importantly of all, they serve as a weekly reminder that I’m not alone in what can...Read full review »

Love this show. Helps me not to feel so overwhelmed
C.P Hoff via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/17/21
There are a lot of podcasts out there for indie authors but this is where I'll be spending my time. I get relevent news quickly, I love the format - lists! Yay! - and I feel connected to what's important in the publishing world. Bryan and Claire are fun to listen to, with just the right...Read full review »

Thank you both for such a helpful and entertaining show! I’ve learned a lot from just listening and learning what I didn’t know I didn’t know.
KellyV04 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/21
I’ve been listening since it was Jim and Bryan, now Claire and Bryan. Great show with witting exchanges, humble attitudes and always at least one actionable item to help grow my author business. The hosts have a warm rapport which shines through nicely. Keep up the great work!
SteveMoretti via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/12/21
Always excellent information.
Illinois Rob via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/21
I pick up publishing podcasts the same way some people pop tic-tacs, and while I’ve stopped listening to many shows over the years I still come back to this one. Why dig through publishing news my self when two charismatic cohosts and their team can do that for me AND present it with humor and...Read full review »

Great podcast for news.
Bill ringo star mcgruder via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/23/20
This is one of my favorite podcasts for indie authors! I love the structure of the show: the hosts give a bunch of tips collected from various sources, and then give all the big news in the publishing and indie publishing world. I feel like I'm caught up on everything without having to spend...Read full review »

Just discovered this podcast and I love it. Great advice, attitude, and chemistry between the hosts.
SurfaLot via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/05/20
I listened to the July 22nd show hoping to get your take on AMS ads tracking KU page reads. For the indie author, this is a game changer. Guess I'll have to wait for next week. Keep up the great work Bryan!Read full review »

I absolutely love this podcast! It keeps me up to date with the indie publishing news and I get always get a good laugh too.

This show is one of few I make time for every week without fail. Though some is more than I need at the moment, it always gets me thinking.
Sara Blackard via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/01/20
A great round up of all the news self publishers would need to know and discussion of those hot topics!
here,there,everywhere via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/03/20
I LOVE this podcast for all the tips it gives as I move towards trying my hand at self publishing. The main reason I had to review this though is that I just realized that the male host sounds EXACTLY like Kevin from Desert Bluffs in Welcome to Night Vale!!! 😭
Zenthropologist via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/27/20
This is an awesome show! Love the timely news updates, occasional sarcasm, and helpful suggestions!
Kelsie Stelting via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/20
This is one of the only podcasts I listen to anymore. I think Bryan and Claire make a great team (love their banter and personal anecdotes-never know what they’re going to say) and I really like the show’s format. I learn something new from each show.
Hermdog! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/20
This is my favorite podcast. Very informative and well done. An indie author must-do
Paige Booker via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/08/20
I’m a long-time weekly listener. Loved the Jim-Brian duo and now equally love the new Brian-Claire duo. This show is a must listen for indie authors. The blend of tips, news, and indie success stories is always timely and interesting.
Jon Author via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/08/20
As a podcast listener to several book-selling and author shows, this is one of the few that has continued to stay in my playlist - the content is relevant, up-to-date, and helpful. Bryan and Clare make a great team, and are a credit to the independent publishing community. Don't be fooled by...Read full review »

This is one podcast I never miss. News I want to know about selling books and entertaining as well!
Beca Lewis via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/07/20
Sell More Books Show is one of those comfort listening podcasts. I feel like I’m listening to friends when I tune in. The tips and news are helpful, but honestly I just enjoy Bryan and Claire as human beings.
JR Erickson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/20
Can't say enough about this show--it's just great... and honest... and uplifting... and please don't ever stop!Read full review »
ATLGAL308 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/28/20
Breaking up a dynamic duo can feel like a fast way to kill a show, but the Sell More Books show has thrived under its new co-host. Thanks for delivering helpful tips and worthwhile news every week.
NancyInBlue via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/22/20
Love this dynamic duo! They keep us in the know and deliver helpful information wherever we are in our author journeys. Most importantly, they answer those burning publishing questions like ‘what’s the murder of the story?’
Tess Manchester via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/18/20
I’ve been a fan of this show for three years. I discovered this show when I thought about delving into the world of self-publishing. This show has been a guiding beacon in teaching people the perils and pluses of the self-publishing landscape.
J.D. Oliva via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/08/20
As a first time author I’ve received valuable content and enjoy the 5 “news” items in the publishing world, in countdown fashion. Keep bringing the great content. Thanks.
Colonel Skip via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/11/20
The new host has a voice like a banshee clawing its way through a slate roof. On the upside, she refuses to allow her ignorance to interfere with her illogical self confidence and enthusiasm. On the downside, the presence of the oddly-named femme has diminished Bryan’s brainpower, too. Taking...Read full review »

I have learned so much about publishing and marketing from this show!
michellebader2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/11/19
As an author, it's important to keep up to date on what's going on in the self-publishing world, but it can be quite time consuming to do all the research yourself. Listening to this podcasts solves that problem.Read full review »
