This podcast has been invaluable to me in three ways! 1) it’s so nice to hear women supporting each other, lifting each other up, and celebrating their wins! These women are the type of women you would want to be friends with and the podcast feels like Donna and Hope are sitting right there with you enjoying a cup of coffee 2) as a writer with hopes of publishing, I am often overwhelmed by the sheer mass of options, opportunities, and paths a writer can take to publishing. The fear honestly can be paralyzing at times— it’s wonderful to hear the advice from authors who are on the next part of the path from you. It’s motivating, rejuvenating, and reassuring! 3) as a teacher, I am using this podcast in my classes! From understanding POV, draft revision strategies, showing vs telling, or planning out your story- Donna and Hope have your back! Students are learning more and more through audio, and they have loved the clips I have shown them. I can’t wait for each new episode, and I am so grateful for the podcast! Looking forward to these debut authors’ next books as well!

This was a fantastic first episode and I look forward to more. I have shared it with some writer friends in hopes to help them navigate the process. What a natural pairing of Donna and Hope. Looking forward to more!

Donna and Hope are super approachable in this series of conversations between two debut authors.
