To open pride month this year, we're joined by Jen Karner (@articulatedream), whose sapphic debut, Cinders of Yesterday, releases later this month! Jen reads us a delicious excerpt of their book, and we chat about some of her favorite bits, the chaos energy of their drafting process, and why we shouldn't treat her as any kind of example for how publishing usually goes.

Things we mention in this episode:

NaNoWriMo 

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power 

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing 

fanfiction.net 

GeoCities 

Children of Blood and Bone, by Tomi Adeyemi

Baltimore Pride
