Customer Reviews
Useful, sassy & fun!
Sasha has been killing it on the Rebel Author podcast! The guests have been great, sharing valuable industry information to further your creative career. I’ve started listening with a notepad nearby—it’s that good. For those who don’t like the chatty personal bits in the beginning—darling, you have the power to skip ahead! The rest of us enjoy catching up with Sasha’s journey and antics…it’s like having a wise and funny friend to show you how it’s done. Bravo!
Fantastic, fun, fresh …
This show will inspire your inner rebel to come out and play! Full of wit and wisdom.
Writing tips plus swearing
Direct craft tips and insightful questions from a host with a mouth like a sailor. It’s perfect. 😂
