Loved the last two episodes and just wanted to give a shout out to the graphic memoir Queen of Snails by Maureen Burdock, in Santa Fe, friend of Ellen Schecter. I read it in one day, just devouring the combo of powerful personal story along with her compelling drawings that just brought it all...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a couple of months now and have really enjoyed learning so much about writing, trends, authors, and how to become a better writer. Great information here, so grateful for it.

These two know what they are talking about. I can’t get enough! Between their knowledge and their guests, I can’t stop listening. If you are a writer, you won’t be able to either.
Becoming Mrs. Johnson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/24/23
This is an interview-style podcast where hosts Brooke Warner (who has her own publishing house) and Grant Faulkner (director of NaNoWriMo) talk to big-name authors, mostly New York Times bestsellers. What I like most is how thought-provoking their questions are. I’ve listened to so many...Read full review »

I was so excited about the topic and then delighted that Brooke had enjoyed the EK episode w Maryann Wolf as much as I did. Thank you for the review of Wolf's fascinating reading. Here's to reviving deep reading and listening to wonderful podcasts!Read full review »

I listen to a lot of writing podcasts. Write Minded is my very favorite. Every single episode is informative, thoughtful and inspiring, so much that I often re-listen to my faves. In addition to learning things about craft and process, I’ve also been introduced to many amazing writers. I look...Read full review »

This show really is great inspiration for anyone writing a novel of any kind. There is a lot of talk of memoir writing, though, so a writer of that specific genre will get a lot out of this podcast.
BPfreegaslol via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/03/22
I love NaNoWriMo and all the content they produce. Even if I’m not actively engaged with the online community at points throughout the year, their emails and this podcast help me stay inspired and motivated to write. Brooke and Grant are thoughtful hosts, and I always learn something from them...Read full review »

For all of us right-brained writers, it’s sometimes (often?) challenging to face the empty page. For me, getting in the right mindset is about being inspired. Podcast listening (while walking) is my “before” work so I love this podcast for its terrific guests, recommendations for writers and book...Read full review »

As a new author I am thankful to listen to these episodes. The learning curve to figure out the publishing industry is steep, but shows like this helps fast-track the experience. Thank you! Good stuff!

This is my not-to-be-missed writing podcast. Grant and Brooke don’t waste time on banality - they get right down to business, with both humour and a depth of thought that always gets me thinking or inspires. I can’t recommend enough.

This podcast is full of useful advice from writers of all different backgrounds and genres. Perhaps the most important thing about this podcast is that it gives everyone permission and validation for telling their own stories. I have two pieces of constructive criticism. First, I’d love to have...Read full review »

Mahalo Grant and Brooke for this episode. It really helped me get over a hump. The reminder that good is the enemy of perfect and to approach the work in bite-size pieces while setting intention were super valuable at this point in my writing career after working on my memoir, The Mother Road,...Read full review »

As someone who is a newcomer to writing and also late to discover my creative path, I find this podcast so inspiring. There are many ways to fit writing into life, and many definitions of writing success, and this podcast highlights that.
