All I can say is I adore Joanna, look forward to listening even when the topic or guest doesn’t really relate to what I’m doing, it’s always fun to join in for the ride. Also a rec for new listeners: the first 20 minutes are always updates, some personal but also news and resources so listen to that each episode at least if you don’t have interest in the main topic or interview.

I love this podcast! Joanna is intelligent, articulate, and a delight to listen to. She is generous in sharing her research, knowledge, and experience. She is a talented interviewer. She asks great questions and is not afraid to challenge her guests but always does so respectfully. Best of all she doesn’t get political (thank you thank you, Joanna, for not going there). 5 stars, highly recommend!

I love listening to Joanna’s podcast. She talks with a wide variety of experts in the author ecosystem. Her encouragement to be more human and more authentically yourself really resonates with me.

Joanna is really one of the founding authors of self-publishing. Her solo episodes and interviews provide for a lovely listening experience that leaves you inspired and excited to apply all that you've learned. Thank you Joanna!

Nuanced and incredibly helpful insights about writing and publishing are some of the reasons I keep listening. Penn is gifted at seeing future trends and changes.

Joanna Penn has year in and year out provided quality content and advice for both aspiring and published authors. She is the absolute gold standard for writing and publishing advice. It is amazing that she’s generated 700 episodes of a podcast while simultaneously writing and publishing her own work. If you are new to writing, you can’t do better than following the Creative Penn. Her consistency and commitment to producing quality content will inspire you, if nothing else does.

As a totally blind author, I find this podcast quite helpful. The resources are always given out. Well, things are spelled out nicely, websites, easy to determine from what is said. IM grateful and appreciative of this podcast. I hope to find the email address online as I was not able to understand it fully when it was said out loud and I would love to send an email with my comments and answer to the questions on the show. that might be something to think about when saying the email address. Spell it out. Thanks and have a great day.

Joanna Penn’s podcast is absolutely the best source out there for authors today, particularly independent authors. She has terrific guests whose topics cover the gamut from craft to marketing to business strategies, and beyond. It’s must-listen material for anyone interested in writing and publishing.
