So incredibly helpful!

I have learned so much from these two wonderful ladies and authors, both in my writing journey and in my personal life. I recently lost my mom to cancer and Jamie’s thoughts and raw honesty about how she was coping helped me so much. I LOVE this podcast

Fabulous resource

Inspiration for authors, delivered in accents like syrup. I’d tune in just to listen to Jamie and Sarah speak. The mix of personal and professional cuts to the heart of the challenges facing contemporary authors. Jamie’s personal struggles with grief and how she’s continued to make a living through a writing lull are illuminating.

Brightens Up My Midweek!

I have to force myself to wait and listen to Sara and Jami whilst doing my mid-week shopping. We all need our treats during the pandemic and something to lighten and brighten our lives.
There’s fun, laughter, advice and gems of information, especially for a newbie author like myself. Thank you ladies.
