Customer Reviews
Excellent presentation and content
Excellent presentation and content. I look forward to your interviews. You attract interesting guests and importantly the production quality is good. There are few other podcasts with a similar focus and interesting guests but they are a pain to listen to because of poor audio and post production. Keep up the great work.
Penn with a double "n"
This is essential listening for any practicing or aspiring indie authors. Joanna Penn gets great knowledgeable guests, and asks pertinent insightful questions. Her lovely accent doesn't hurt either. I imagine she gets a lot of marriage proposals from American listeners!
Joanna's Podcast is an inspiration!
The Creative Penn podcast is chock full of interviews and inspiration! I've struggled with my desire to write a novel and feelings of "inadequacy" for years, but thanks to Joanna sharing her own story of writing and self-publishing, I feel inspired to finally put myself out there. She also provides tons of great tips and resources for authors and much of the information she includes is essential if you want to learn how to effectively promote your work as an indie author.
