I really enjoyed speaking with you! You made me feel very comfortable for my first podcast experience, and it’s been so fun watching people interact with it. Thank you for providing this opportunity!

You were so easy to chat with, and I loved the questions over craft. All of my books thus far have dual timelines, so I think the interview will give my readers insight into my writing process.

What a fun way to promote my book! Chatting with David was fun, interesting, and easy, like talking at home with a friend.

David is such a gracious host, so easy to talk to and laugh with, that I didn’t feel like I was being interviewed and was instead chatting with a friend. I’d love to be invited back again!

You’re upbeat, quick to laugh, and just generally easy to talk to. I felt immediately comfortable.

David is awesome. He zeroed in on areas of focus that really highlighted specific aspects about my writing. It wasn’t just, “Tell me your process.” Rather, we got into details of the craft that I loved sharing and which I hope are useful to others.

A bright and breezy chat. The host is very friendly and put me at ease with his manner and questions and it was great to discuss my author career and latest book in one very fun, succinct conversation.

David is an excellent interviewer! He does a wonderful job of asking questions and directing dialogue to keep things relevant and on topic. He also has a great way of framing the episode to highlight the biggest takeaways for the audience.

Talking to David is like talking to a friend. He asks fresh, penetrating questions that get at the heart of what you and your book are all about. Anyone who cares about the craft of writing thriller fiction (or any kind of fiction) should jump at the chance to be on his show.

I think David is one of the best at hooking a listener. If you’ve listened to his podcast, you know how well he can pull you from the teaser at the front, through the episode, and then into the next one as well. I learned a lot from him about suspense! I was impressed too with his questions and how well he knew my work, which really allowed us to move beyond the surface questions I might generally get asked. Plus, he’s just fun and comfortable to talk to, which I think you can hear in his podcasts as well.

The entire interview was fantastic! David was a wonderful host–very personable, friendly, and professional. He provided all the information ahead of time so I had time to prepare and asked a lot of great questions. The whole process was really fun!
Jason Powell (Author)
The questions gave me the opportunity to talk about my process and my intent in a way that provides the reader with a spoiler free glimpse inside the book in a way the dusk jacket couldn’t.

…I was thrilled to have an opportunity to chat with David. I love how he always keeps the conversation positive, even when talking about some of the tougher aspects of an author’s journey. I also admire how he really does his homework so he can ask insightful questions about your book as well as your background and your career. It feels like sitting down to catch up with an old friend. I appreciate David promoting my episode in his newsletter and including soundbites in other episodes too. I recommend this podcast to writers and authors no matter where they are in their path to publication. I learn something new every time I listen!

You are always so professional and easy to work with, you make the interview process comfortable… you had unique questions to ask me that I hadn’t been asked many times before. Thanks for having me – I’d be happy to come back any time!

You did a great job of providing questions ahead of time, but also having organic questions in the moment. It was a perfect blend.

Super straightforward and comfortable interview experience. Had lots of people reaching out to me after listening to it!

My conversation with you was well thought out and very professional
J.M. Donellan (Author)
The whole process was really quick and easy. I’ve done a lot of interviews, this was a favourite. Good mix of relaxed and casual while still being organised and having well-thought, useful questions.

Guests should expect an easy-going, engaging, and focused conversation. [The] podcast is relevant and meaningful because it’s geared toward providing authors and budding authors with insights from working writers. Given my experience as an educator, I do well when speaking about the craft of writing — tips and tools of the trade — and my writing practice. My goal has always been to explore writing not as this esoteric concept but as an accessible practice, and [the] podcast provided a platform that allowed me to do that.
James Byrne (Author)
The interview was laid-back and relaxed. A lot of fun.
