This Book Club is All Smut and Spice, No Shame


Listen Later

Did you want more smut?

I’m chatting with Alexa Sierra, co-founder of Nashville Smut, the spicy book club-turned-brand that’s taken over Music City and the internet one smutty read at a time. 

What started as a Facebook group between two childhood besties has grown into a full-blown movement with in-person meetups, viral merch, and their very own indie book festival, Tempted by Fiction.

We talk about:

  • How Nashville Smut got started (and why it almost didn’t)
  • Growing a community without a big budget or social media experience
  • The truth about planning events and selling spicy merch
  • What really goes viral on Instagram and TikTok
  • Lessons from building a business while working full-time
  • And yes, we get all the smutty book recs you could ever want

Whether you’re a fellow smut-lover, thinking of starting a bookish side hustle, or just need a feel-good story about women making magic, this one’s for you.
