This week I’m SO excited to introduce you to Ashley Poston! You may already know Ashley from her wonderful article in Issue 004 of The Sartorial Geek magazine or her books Geekerella and Heart of Iron. (Geekeralla is one of Amazon’s Kindle deals for the month of March - you can get it for only $1.99!).

 

Ashley also has a companion book to Geekerella coming out on April 2 called The Princess and the Fangirl, which I am way too excited about. You can pre-order it at Quirk Books!

 

If you read Ashley’s article in The Sartorial Geek, you know how important fan fiction is to her. We talk a lot about the role fan fic has played in Ashley’s career and how she still uses it to flex her writing muscles. (Archive of Our Own is a great resource for sharing and reading fan fiction). If you’re a writer or aspiring author, this episode is full of great advice you don’t want to miss!

 

For our New York friends, we have a special announcement: Ashley and I will be doing an event together at Books of Wonder on April 9! And for everyone else, don’t forget to pick up Geekerella during Amazon’s Kindle special and pre-order The Princess and the Fangirl!
