Always Inspiring
I thoroughly enjoy Querty & Marion’s conversational, and extremely intelligent interviewing skills.
This most recent episode with Michele Cushatt was just beyond! Not only did it fill me with awe for how she is handling her struggles, it inspired me to continue to write about my own difficult past.
Thank you for continuing to produce such a consistently compelling show. - Stacey Morris
Efficient, valuable, and enlightening
Thank you for continuing to provide incredibly valuable interviews specific to writing and so helpful to writers. I also appreciate your ability to keep the conversation moving. Your sense of timing and pacing make each episode a fantastic use of my time and attention. Please don’t stop!
Must-listen!
Marion comes to the interview prepared. She reads the book, and asks deep, probing questions that provoke true conversation. Her podcast has diverse topics, and though she asks the same one or two questions of the people she interviews, each conversation is unique, delightful and filled with insight and useful information.
