In this episode, author–editor Rennie Dyball gets wonderfully candid about crossing genres and the imposter feelings that flare whenever she switches lanes, the craft mantra that unlocked her fiction, and how time in the saddle quiets her brain so ideas can land on the drive home. We dig into why picture books are deceptively hard, plus practical, ADHD-friendly focus tricks (short timers, one-task sprints, writing anywhere). Rennie also shares what’s new and what’s next, including a neurodivergent-friendly field guide and a spicy equestrian romance under a pen name. It’s an energizing, nuts-and-bolts conversation about creativity, confidence, and building a body of work across forms.

This week, we hang out with two brilliant weirdos who absolutely live for story: Christina Baker Kline and Anne Burt. Their new novel, Please Don’t Lie, is our jumping-off point for a candid, generous, energizing conversation. We go inside their creative friendship, from late-night draft swaps to “trust falls” that make the writing braver. They discuss building a novel with joy and discipline, explore what immersive writing retreats entail, and examine how themes of grief and trauma shape the emotional spine of their work. We also get into the pull of self-help culture, the true-crime lens on modern narratives, and how to balance page-turning momentum with literary heart. If you love books, collaboration, and the messy magic of making art with your people, this one is a delight.

Liz and Greg sit down with novelist Cleyvis Natera, whose acclaimed debut Neruda on the Park was a New York Times Editors’ Choice, and whose latest, The Grand Paloma Resort, released last month and is available everywhere. They talk impostor syndrome, perseverance after rejection, and how class and privilege shape her stories. Cleyvis opens up about building community, staying authentic while shifting genres, and why cultural commentary belongs at the heart of contemporary fiction. It is a candid look at craft, career evolution, and the personal growth that fuels great writing.

In this episode of Imposter Hour, Liz Keenan and Greg Wands sit down with crime writers Patricia Dunn, Deborah Levison, and Wendy Whitman to talk imposter feelings, writing about darkness, and the communities that keep us brave. They trace the winding paths that brought them to the genre, share candid truths about promotion and platform, and preview what’s next. It’s a smart, generous conversation about craft, confidence, and the complicated link between creativity and self-perception.

In this episode of “Imposter Hour with Liz and Greg,” we sit down with debut novelist and book publicist Lauren Morrow to talk about her just-published, buzzed-about debut, “Little Movements.” Lauren opens up about stepping through the publishing looking glass, balancing ambition with real life, and how personal truth fuels believable fiction. It’s an honest, practical conversation about the writing life, identity, and sticking with it. Tune in for craft talk, creativity, self-doubt, and the leap from behind-the-scenes to byline.

Imposter Hour is back. This week, in our first episode after the summer hiatus, Liz and Greg sit down with internationally bestselling thriller author Samantha Downing. We dig into her new novel, Too Old for This, starring Lottie Jones, a 75-year-old retired serial killer who refuses to go quietly, and we revisit the breakout that started it all, My Lovely Wife. The conversation hits craft, voice, and the business side of branding, then gets real about imposter syndrome in publishing. How success does and does not quiet the doubt, what still triggers it, and the habits that keep the words coming. If you love darkly funny crime and honest talk about the writing life, this week’s episode is your perfect reentry.

This week on Imposter Hour, Liz and Greg welcome the brilliant Maris Kreizman, cultural critic, essayist, and author of the fiercely smart and deeply human new collection I Want to Burn This Place Down.

They talk imposter syndrome in the literary world, the blur between pop culture and personal identity, and what it means to write honestly in an era of constant noise. Maris shares generously about navigating vulnerability and consent on the page, how living with diabetes shaped her relationship to her body and voice, and why building community is more urgent than ever.

It’s a conversation full of sharp insights, dark humor, and righteous fire, perfect for anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider in a space they care about.
