Mallory Tater’s debut novel, The Birth Yard, has just been contracted by HarperCollins and she’s here to answer the question of HOW DO YOU DO THAT? She’s also here to remind us that just because The Handmaid’s Tale was a big deal, doesn’t mean that feminist dystopia (and other genres related to #MeToo) have “had their moment.” Also included: why you shouldn’t listen to publishers who tell you to “put your novel in a drawer” because ahem THEY ARE WRONG.
Writer and musician Mica Lemiski interviews women and non-binary artists about a range of topics (gender! politics! love! literature!) in a podcast best-suited to bitches, witches, and anyone who’s ever been called “hysterical.”
