I have listened to only a handful of these podcast episodes, but what I look for in a writing podcast is someone who inspires me to want to write, and someone who can affirm my thoughts and give me new ideas for ways to improve my writing. The episode that made me want to leave this review was Mary’s episode on enneagram types and writing goals. At first I was of the impression she was going to say 1’s (my type) are going to need some crazy goal because they’re so put together… but that’s not my story. Then I continued to listen and her description of the one’s goals were EXACTLY what I wanted to hear, and what I enjoy doing. Overall, this podcast inspires, brings joy, and helps writers to do their best with motivation to complete their novel. I listen and feel inspired and encouraged that I really can do this. Thank you for your work!!

My first novel debuts in September (it’s traditionally published) and I stumbled across Mary’s eye-opening podcast (the episode on hiring a book publicist) was really informative. I highly recommend any writer - self-published or not - give her show a shot. Thanks so much for your insight.

This inspires me to write the best book that I can. I also appreciate the eloquence of the reviews. 😂

I love Mary’s direct style and friendly tone. She makes writing fun and manageable.

I think the information in these podcast is very useful. The podcast subjects are very interesting. I cannot wait to listen to all of them!

I have enjoyed listening to a number of these podcasts. I am a published author myself and find the topics and direction to be spot on. Some of it I already know but maybe forget to regularly employ. Some info is new. One can always benefit from hearing something again. The advice is very helpful no matter what the phase of your writing and career. Thank you to Ms. Adkins. Your delivery is great and I learn something useful and actionable with every episode.

This is so helpful! I wish it was being updated still!

Dear Mary, It is not often that one comes across a person who so freely gives of themselves and their art. You are that person, and you are definitely one of a kind. I am learning so much Thank you from the bottom of my heART. Michelle

Hi Mary, I found your podcast on apple and I love it!! I find your sincerity refreshing and appreciate how clearly explain the first draft process. Keep up the good work! Warmly, Vonnie Kennedy

I am so glad that I found this podcast and that it exists in the first place! Mary breaks things down so simply and is putting the excitement back in writing for me. I have found answers to do many questions that I couldn’t find elsewhere. I highly recommend this for anyone that is interested in writing.

Thank you Mary Adkins for providing exactly what I needed. It’s as if a warm and unpretentious neighbor saw, through my kitchen window, that I was struggling, and popped in to help. She only stayed a short time, but left me with the tools to write clearly, to have fun again, and to bring my whole self to it. Consider this a thank you pie.

I discovered Mary Adkins podcast recently and I’ve now listened to all episodes and can’t wait for the next one! I am a new author working on my first book, and each episode is full of helpful information and tips. I’m soaking it all in!

I adore this podcast! I’ll pop on an episode before I start my writing session and it puts me in the perfect mindset to get writing!

If you’ve written a book, poem or play for a band of bawdy bards, Or only a love letter, littered with longings, across the crease of a card... This podcast cast with Mary Adkins breaks artistic fasts like a biscuit in the middle of 10 day Atkins masterclass. So cram your canals with poly- carbonated phones, shake that cocktail til it foams, put down that Ethan Frome and listen to the archetypal typist of today’s modern tome.

Wow! I’m blow away by the tangible tips and suggestions Mary gives in this podcast! With her help, I might actually be able to finish the book I have been writing for several years now. I’m no professional writer, but with her help, I might actually become one. Thanks Mary! ♥️

Somebody pass the chips!! How much is this again??? Mary Adkins is dece AF. Plus she can like really write and stuff!

I read her books and had to check out her podcast. Surprisingly specific for free advice. Well worth a listen.
