Description
QWS S4E7 OLIVIA O’FLYNN
New QWS Podcast Episode! 🌈✨ Season 4 Continues!
In QWS S4E7, Troy Hunter (he/him) chats to Olivia O’Flynn (she/her) about her debut romantasy novel Ever Blessed, out now with Harper Collins.
Olivia talks about her path to publication and the joys and challenges of plotting and worldbuilding of not one but three books at the same time!
Ever Blessed may be a queer romantasy full of myth and magic, but it also examines the roles of religion and politics and other real-world allegories – it’s not just sex and dragons!
Olivia also discusses how writing the book allowed her to really explore her queerness in a new way.
Plus, Olvia recommends:
• Hungerstone by Kat Dunn
• Queer as Folklore: The Hidden Queer History of Myths and Monsters by Sacha Coward
• A Language of Limbs by Dylin Hardcastle
• The Sydney Sapphics Book Club
• The Australian Society of Authors website and query tracker to find agents
