    One of my new favorite podcasts. I appreciate that the episodes deal with all things writing, including mindset, drafting, revising, querying, etc. I feel that there is something there for every stage of the process. It’s high quality content *and* production; the sound is great, no filler words, no lip smacking. Love it 😍

  • Really encouraging

    I love the word: encourage. Encouraging teachers like Stacy Frazer give you the courage and know how to transform the seemingly impossible into the possible. She en-courages you, so you won’t want to quit. Give Stacy a listen. You won’t be disappointed.
