Customer Reviews
Entertaining AND practical
Great insights about writing and publishing AND Sasha is hilarious!
New favorite author podcast!
A friend of mine recently recommended this podcast to me, and I have greatly enjoyed listening to current and previous episodes. I love the host’s attitude and her irreverence, and the topics she’s covering are particularly relevant for me in my current career stage.
Favorite Author Podcast
I’ve been following this show since 2020 and after two years of listening, it is still by far my favorite podcast. Period. Sacha is informative yet incredibly funny, and I’m always left with several ideas for my books and author platform. I find myself stopping and starting to grab a phone or notebook to jot down all the amazing tidbits of information and am always filled with motivation to go and do something writerly by the end of each episode. Rebel Author Podcast is my immediate go to for entertainment as well as my first go-to recommendation to fellow writers. Listen to the Rebel Author Podcast!
