In this episode, I sit down with Canadian Author, Emily Austin for a conversation about writing, queer identity, mental health, neurodivergence and the realities of publishing.

Emily shares how she found her way into writing, and the stories behind her books:

• Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead 
• Interesting Facts About Space
• Is This a Cry For Help?
• We Could Be Rats 
• Gay Girl Prayers
• Garbage Girls - due 2028

We discuss writing from lived experience, creating anxious but relatable characters, finding a queer audience, and what it’s like when readers see themselves so deeply in Emily’s books.

Join us for a funny, thoughtful conversation about books, identity, anxiety and the power of writing the stories you want to see in the world.
