Extremely Actionable and Enjoyable

When I want to learn some thing, I don’t want to waste my time wading through a lot of irrelevant information. Ann is effective at cutting out the fluff and leaving us with exactly what we need to know. Bonus: she has THE best voice of any Podcaster I have ever listened to and I have listened to hundreds. I thoroughly enjoy her podcast and if you are interested in improving your writing, I believe you will, too.

Bottom line podcast

My favorite thing about Ann’s podcasts is that they are about writing. I hate listening to congratulatory commentary between host and guest. I’m also not interested in hearing rambling promotions for the guest’s new book. If I like what the guest is saying, I’ll get the book without needing an endless preamble. I’ve listened to about four podcasts thus far and have yet to be bored or disappointed. I’ve also ordered one of the guest’s books. I’m getting great insight and learning a lot. Thank you.

A labor of love

Ann hits home with her beautifully told stories that empower you as a writer. I recently heard her episode on the shift that must take place when deciding to make your work your profession.

Grammar stories to remember

It is easy to remember grammar rules when you’re not eating your relatives: ‘‘Let’s eat Nana” versus ‘let’s eat, Nana!’

Always concise & helpful!

Favorite writing podcast

Ann love your show! So helpful and inspiring! Love the length. Short and sweet. Love the upbeat music and your voice! Thanks for who you are! Look forward to many more shows!!! It’s helping me keep writing in a difficult time. Sidenote: (Not a fan of the lower beat intro music since COVID. I come here for inspiration and that music is not consistent with who you are and what you do for the writing world).

Wise and very intelligent

Ann is a leader— in a world where very few exist anymore. She’s one of those people that you hope to have in your neighborhood, and community. There’s a lot of writing podcasts—but this is one of the best.

So helpful. I love Ann's upbeat and short tips on how to live and write, and write some more. Just what I need to get myself back at the keyboard.

I have listened to 20 or more of these podcasts. I love her attitude and disposition. The episodes range from somewhat useful to “that is a really good idea”. Thanks Ann. Keep them coming!

Short and So Good!

I love Ann’s podcast for the powerhouse of information she packs into a few minutes. I leave every podcast inspired, informed and ready to write!

Great advice- Easy to listen to

I love this podcast about writing. Too many of these go on far too long and are not useful. This one is crisp and to the point. Good advice and trips- but mostly it moticates me to keep goin and "write" on. A very enjoyable and informative podcast.

Wonderfully practical

I have a dream to someday write, and have enjoyed reading Ann's simple, practical, and informative newsletters and blogs. I have learned a lot about the process of writing in all its various forms, such as punctuation, grammar, editing, publishing, developing platforms on SM, etc. She is fun, funny, and well informed. Even if I didn't plan on writing, I would read her stuff anyway.

Bite-sized Inspiration for the Writing Life

I love these short productions. It's a little jolt of inspiration. Ann is funny and thoughtful and her voice is lovely and sonorous. Each one of these 5 minute recordings is filled with grace and wit and makes me want to get to work. Because after all work is the magic!

Winsome and Wise

When I'm feeling discouraged about my writing life or uninformed about the writing world that lies beyond my desk and chair, Ann's podcasts are refreshing reminders that we writers are not alone. Ann possesses a treasure chest of writing wisdom, and she shares it unselfishly in these short, to the point podcasts.

Connects with writer's soul

Generally short but full of impact, this podcast helps me reconnect with my writer's soul and energy. Great advice for writers new and experienced. Unlike other podcasters, I actually enjoy Ann's voice- it's very lyrical.

A podcast for Writers

This podcast give great information in a good amount of time. It is worth the time to listen to and Ann usually keeps the talk short and on point.
