During my time as a student at ICL in the early 00’s, I learned so much! I gained and picked up very valuable information and tools that has helped me in my writing. So excited to know that ICL has a podcast! Will definitely be tuning in!

I love that Katie’s podcast is specifically for writing for children. I listen to a LOT of writing podcasts, but this is one of the only ones that is specifically targeted towards children’s authors. In addition to the shorter episodes with practical advice, I’m so thankful previews of the author...Read full review »

I appreciate the concept but the content is pretty thin in this podcast and the host is constantly trying to up sell the audience on products. One episode she read a list of commonly confused homonyms and then pitched whatever product. I don’t even know because I tuned out. Not the best

The podcast is way too heavy on the promotion of paid content, to the point that it’s almost not worthwhile. The little content provided is great quality and the host is fun to listen to. The intro music is also a bit annoying after a while.

JMBurr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/05/18
Been a long time listener and an ICL graduate, but now the podcast has turned into not much more than an attempt to monetize the new subscription format group. While the topics covered seem interesting, unless you pay, you'll only get some of the information, hear some of the conversation...Read full review »

I think there is always more to learn and this seems very helpful in getting another perspective into the publishing world. I also like that they are short and sweet so I can listen intently but not feel as though I need to block out a ton of time to it.

I have listened to Katie do webinars and I really like her conversational style and humor. These podcasts are just the right length and give you information that is useful. I have been writing for several years but I think these podcasts would have really been helpful when I started out.
