“I've done thirty interviews for this book. This was the only one where someone had clearly read it twice. The questions went where no other interviewer has gone.”
Amara OkonkwoAuthor
“I have never heard myself speak about the work like that before. I cried a couple of times. It was such a beautiful reminder of how far the writing has brought me.”
Kimberly HughesAuthorJeremiah Bear
“Thank you for the conversation, which I genuinely enjoyed. The questions were excellent and led somewhere real — thoughtful, prepared, and generous throughout.”
Raj JavalgiAuthorConquering Life's Battles
“The questions were thought-provoking and not the ones I would expect from any interview I have ever done. I am very pleased with the whole experience.”
James F. Miller IIAuthorYou Can't Love Her Like This

Elias HartmannPoetField Notes for Winter
“Independent authors rarely get this kind of room. The episode has outsold every paid ad I've ever run.”
Marcus BellAuthorThe Cold Tender
