Introducing... The Bleeders

Welcome + check out the trailer 🎧

Hello to my very first Bleeders!

I’m so excited to have you with me on this adventure. Writing a book and then trying to sell it can be a very lonely process, but I’ve been most successful and had the most FUN as a writer when I’ve had a supportive community around me. That’s a huge part of why I’m starting this podcast. I hope we get to know each other in the comments (and you can always hit reply on these emails and shoot me a 1:1 response!) and cheer each other through the hard parts and the milestone celebrations — book sales, pub dates, and beyond.

My mission is to amplify women, BIPOC, and queer voices, which happen to be my favorite perspectives to read. I’d love to hear from you, and I will be accepting guest pitches.

The podcast officially launches its first episode on Thursday, June 9th, with special guest Samantha Allen, author of Real Queer America: LGBT Stories From Red States, and her upcoming debut novel, Patricia Wants to Cuddle. Other early guests include Halley Sutton, Hannah Howard, and Amanda Hill.

If you like what you hear, please take a second to give the Spotify page a follow and a 5-star rating. I’ll be forever grateful.

Until next time, happy writing!
