Hey Well Read Baddies! We’re kicking off 2026 and Year Seven of She Well Read with a bonus guest episode featuring Gatekeeper Press, one of our Season 6 partners. Joined by Director of Marketing and Business Development Luis Javier, we break down independent publishing, author ownership, and how writers can retain creative control without sacrificing professional support. This episode is a must-listen for writers at any stage—from idea to finished manuscript—and for anyone curious about indie publishing versus traditional routes. Plus, there’s a major 2026 announcement tied to our partnership with Gatekeeper Press that could be a game-changer for one writer in our community. If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing your book in the world, make sure you listen all the way through.
