Friends! We're excited to announce the writers for our next two chapters- Chapter 3 will be written by J. Gregory Moran, mysterious audio fiction scribe! Chapter 4 will be written by Gabriel Urbina, co-creator of Wolf 359, Unseen, Zero Hours, and Time:bombs!
Looking forward to this conversation!
We’ve got something especially exciting for the latter half of September- an author interview with @JesserBest ✨ #Audiodrama lovers may know her as writer of our of this world @StarshipIris. We’ll be chatting sapphic, sci-fi, YA murder mystery #StarsHideYourFires on the 16th!
ALT A graphic in the same style as the previous with a header reading: ‘Author Interview’ Text in the centre reads: ‘September 16th: Stars, Hide Your Fires by Jessica Mary Best.’ An image of the book’s cover is besides the text, which features the reflection of two women facing each other in two parallel knives, one bloodstained.
