What listeners are saying about The Indy Author Podcast ...

"Such great information. You are amazing and the content you provide is incredible." —Efrem, The Indy Author Podcast listener

"I'm not good at listening to podcasts. I usually end up bored by the chit-chat or ads & never listen again. But I listened to this beginning to end and found it very useful and informative. Looking forward to more episodes!" Samantha Wilcoxson on Episode #224 Secrets of Maximizing In-person Sales with Todd Fahnestock

"I find your podcasts consistently excellent ... and your questions spot on." --Award-winning author Judy L. Murray

"I love how The Indy Author podcast challenges some of the assumptions in the time-worn (and out of date) advice that authors receive about marketing their work. Matty is a skilled and engaged interviewer; her approach to the podcast and her guests is extremely professional and I like the options to listen or watch on YouTube, too. There's an excellent mix here of tactical advice, marketing strategy, and mindset." --Podchaser reviewer Pauline W.

“Very helpful content, especially for this new author, as she’s meeting me where I am in this process—very helpful, useful and easy to understand. Lots of good tips in this highly contextual business. I don’t feel as alone. Thank you!” --KM Clark via Apple Podcasts

"Matty, I'm very impressed with your interview skills! Great breadth of questions asked, and you have a good sense for allowing the interviewee to say what they want while keeping the conversation on point. You earned a subscriber today :)" —Jack M., subscriber to The Indy Author Podcast on YouTube

"You ask very good questions and do a lovely job leading interviews fluidly and to topics authors must find quite useful." —Tiffany Yates Martin, The Indy Author Podcast listener and guest on Episode 053 - What Authors Can Learn from TV and Movies

"Thanks for all the work you do with the podcast and in bringing such wonderful guests on to interview. I listen to a lot of podcasts on writing and publishing, and you’re really one of the most prepared and best interviewers in the space." —Kathy B., The Indy Author Podcast listener

"Matty, this was so entertaining. You each listened to each other beautifully and provided a seamless, interesting discussion." —Lisa H., The Indy Author Podcast listener in reference to Episode 040 with Hank Phillippi Ryan

What guests are saying about The Indy Author Podcast ...

"Matty, I've been interviewed in print and podcast numerous times. Your promotional efforts of my appearance on THE INDY AUTHOR has been, hands-down, the best I've experienced. I even had another writer friend point this out. Kudos to you! The job you've done is fantastic!" —Frank Zafiro, guest on Episode 160 - Mistakes Writers Make about Police Roles and How to Avoid Them

"I hopped onto a video chat and hit it off with Matty from the get-go. We easily burned through an hour of content and could’ve done another hour if time permitted. But just when I thought she was done and it was over, she blew me away. Matty is a promotional machine! Wow! Matty broke down the interview into small sound bites and broadcast it across social media. I’ve never been on a podcast where the host has done so much to promote an appearance. I felt like I was slacking with my promotions when looking at her." —Multi-appearance guest Dale L. Roberts of Self-Publishing with Dale
