Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast dives into various themes within the fantasy genre, including aspects of self-publishing, authenticity in content creation, and the emergence of Romantasy. Specific episode topics cover creating fictional languages, indie author mentorship, the challenges of diversity in storytelling, and discussions on urban fantasy and chronic illness awareness, enriching the conversations around how literature reflects and shapes societal trends.
Join your host, Stephanie Storm as she interviews fantasy authors, debut novelists, editors, and Bookstagrammers and we dive into the genre we’ve all come to love. Nothing is off limits as we chat editing, marketing, ethics, bookish hot takes and how to navigate both traditional and self-publishing.
Whether you’re penning your debut novel, editing bestsellers, or championing books online, you’ll find relatable discussions with us, and something to appeal to every fantasy reader.
Here’s to a refreshingly different take on a fantasy podcast, and helping you find your new favourite author.
It’s always a treat to find a fellow millenial who has similar tastes in media to you, so we shall dub this, the millenial episode. An ARC reader brough Stevie and I together, and I’m so grateful for the oppurtunity to get to follow Steview and her journey. In this episode, we chat about writing layered characters that reflect our real-life experiences, and how Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Friends helped inspire Shadow of Lillith.
We also get into:
- Why character growth and real change on the page is non-negotiable
- Discovering identity at any stage of life—and how to weave that authentically into fiction
- Why representation in storytelling matters now more than ever
- The unspoken author responsibility to emotionally wreck your readers (lovingly) so they have to keep reading
- The noticeable shift in how indie authors are viewed by readers—and treated by the publishing industry
