  • My New Favorite

    I ran through every episode of VE Schwab’s No Write Way and stumbled upon this must-listen podcasts for SFF readers and writers alike. The cohosts are knowledgeable and appealing, and I appreciate their love for the genre, their excellent guests, and their clear dedication to supporting SFF writers. They also have their own books, which I’ve added to my TBR! Highly recommend :)

TBRCon2026: Breaking Genre Conventions in Self-Pub (with J.A.J. Minton, Philip Chase, Tatiana Obey & More)
Q: Do genre labels help readers find books, or can they limit how books are perceived, and does genre blending create new expectations?
The panelists say genre labels help with marketing and discovery but cannot capture a book fully. Genre blends can give readers fresh spins on familiar tropes and, as readerships grow, help define new genres.
