“I've been listening to Eleanor Wachtel interview writers for over 20 years since - i was a wee university student. Because of her, I have more books than i will have time in my life to read. And i'm mostly okay with that. She is incredibly engaged, thorough, and warm. She connects immediately with her subjects and draws them out into the most fascinating conversations that are not "just about writing". And i love catching that "a-ha" moment when the interviewee clues in that Wachtel really knows her stuff and that is not going to be a junket book tour interview, but an intelligent, interesting and friendly exchange about lots of stuff.

“Thoughtful and thought-provoking, Elenor is one of the best interviewers I've ever heard. She is deeply versed in her subject matter and as a result asks questions that shed light on the writers as much as their works. She asks questions you wish you had been clever enough to ask yourself,...”Read full review »
