I woke up to a sweet surprise: Beautiful Writers Podcast just landed on SpotFeed’s list of the Top 70 Writing Podcasts for 2025! As someone who lives to connect kindred spirits through stories, this recognition feels like a hug from the literary universe.

The pod is my love letter to the writing life—filled with intimate chats with beloved authors and a few of my favorite top agents (with more coming). My guests give a masterclass in creativity, craft, and staying sane while chasing big dreams.

What an honor to be with such inspiring shows in SpotFeed’s list, including fan favorites like:

  • The Sht No One Tells You About Writing – A must-listen for real talk and publishing insights.
  • The Writer Files – Where creativity meets productivity with fascinating deep dives into the habits of successful authors.
  • Grammar Girl – Mignon Fogarty delivers bite-sized grammar tips that even seasoned writers find addictive.
  • The Creative Penn – Joanna Penn blends practical writing advice with smart business strategy.
  • First Draft with Mitzi Rapkin – Mitzi has a gift for drawing out the soul of a story.
  • DIY MFA Radio – Geared toward the writer who wants to grow their craft and career (without the student loans!).

And so many more gems, which you can find here in the SpotFeed article.

Each podcast brings something unique to the table—whether it’s practical how-tos, motivational mojo, or behind-the-scenes gold from the publishing trenches. I’m so grateful to see our show among them, especially knowing how many brilliant voices are out there sharing their wisdom and heart.

And of course, Beautiful Writers wouldn’t be what it is without YOU—our wonderful listeners. Whether you’ve been with me since the early days or recently discovered the show, thank you for tuning in, sharing episodes, and sending the most thoughtful notes. Your support means the world.

Since pausing my Carmel retreats, I’ve been having the best time writing, playing with family & friends, hosting twice-weekly #Write-Ins in the Beautiful Writers Group, and doing client book edits. But I’m chomping to return to the podcast chair, so more soon! In the meantime, there are 75 episodes for you to revisit + the best of the best wisdom from the show in the Beautiful Writers book.

I’m excited to keep making magic together. 💫

With love and gratitude, write on!
