What authors say
A Few Kind Words
Notes from the authors who have sat across the microphone from PatZi — in their own words.
“7 Fabulous years! Congratulations! PatZi shares her love for books and authors, building a bridge to thrilled readers. A blessing for all.”
“Joy on Paper is without question the gold standard radio show celebrating books and authors, and PatZi Gil is without equal as its host.”
“PatZi — and Joy on Paper — constitute a National treasure for writers and readers. Has it been only seven years? How did we ever get along without her???”
“I have been on quite a few radio shows, but few were as engaging, authentic, spontaneous, and soul filled as PatZi's Joy on Paper, a syndicated show. What you hear from PatZi is meaningful and unique. She's all in on the topics she features and the guests she hosts.”
“Speaking with PatZi was as much fun as chatting with a longtime friend. I loved how she knew my book, Death by Chaos, and asked such great questions about the inspirations, the writing process, and the characters. As a gracious hostess, she informed me and the audience of some of her favorite elements and moments in my book.”
“PatZi Gil and Joy On Paper embraced both me and my work, and it's been a pleasure chatting on the show about Rome, past journeys, and handsome Roman generals. PatZi's enthusiasm as a radio personality makes an interview delightful and animated. Her love for books and interest about sundry topics makes a half hour fly by. I look forward to our next visit together!”
“Being interviewed by PatZi Gil is like having a conversation with an old friend. She draws her guests out with a signature mixture of humor, empathy, and authenticity. PatZi has a deep passion for all kinds of books and their authors. Joy on Paper stands above and apart from all other shows devoted to the written word.”
“There's something about PatZi. Her energy is boundless, her appetite for books and words is voracious, her literary insights are sometimes surprising, always apt, and her — well — JOY in the authors she interviews is contagious. Joy on Paper is a welcoming, hospitable place for authors to talk about our work. That thing about PatZi? I'm still not sure what it is. But I'll tell you one thing — she makes it fun!”
