“I’m a non-fiction writer. There are good ideas here. The host thinks and processes out loud so maybe listen on 1.5-2X. Otherwise, excellent.”

“I am a new listener but have gone through all of the available episodes and have to say that in my opinion this podcast was wonderful in the earlier episodes when it was more like a conversation between two people about the subject instead of a sermon being preached by one person.”

“Listening to the editor suggestions after the read through is incredibly useful. It gives the listeners practice in identifying problems by noting if their own edits do or do not match the hosts critiques.”

“I’ve been listening to Leslie and Clark since the podcast’s infancy and have yet to miss an episode.
The quality if the advice is the best I have heard with easy to follow instructions on strengthening your manuscript and improving self-editing techniques.
The real gem, however, is the website...”Read full review »

“I love the variety of genres represented, it speaks to their professionalism and love of the written word. Editing is not my strong suit, I'd much rather craft the story and turn it over to someone else for fine-tuning, otherwise I edit the life out of my work. The only thing I'd change...”Read full review »

“This is an incredibly informative and useful podcast, but please figure out a way to equalize/master the volume between each of the hosts. Far too often one of the hosts is far louder than the other and it makes listening difficult.”
