    Happy holidays listeners!

    We know we've been MIA for a hot minute, but we are so excited to be able to share a recent conversation Sarah Jane and Emily had with debut author Avianna Bishop and her co-conspirator, and editor, Paige Vandop about their recent book "Sacrifice".

    Do you love an adventure? How about an impossible task? The fae? Then this could be a good book for you! Join us as we discuss the process of self publishing, what it's like to be an author and editor, and how you turn an idea into a series!

  • Episode 72 - Most Ardently by Gabe Cole Novoa
    Jun 9 2025

    Send us a text

    Happy Pride Month listeners! To kick off June, we are diving into Most Ardently by Gabe Cole Novoa — a bold and beautifully queer retelling of Pride and Prejudice set in 19th-century London. Say farewell to Elizabeth Bennet, and give a warm welcome to Oliver Bennet, a trans teen navigating society, selfhood, and a seriously swoon-worthy Mr. Darcy. Also, Mr. Collins is way more villainous here but don't worry as not everything has been changed; Wickham is still a dick.
