Hello Rebel Readers,
ENTER WITH JOY: This episode may cause real laughs and instant M.A. Wardell fandom!
This episode contains uncontrollable laughter, author charm, and the kind of joyful chaos only M.A. Wardell can bring.
I sit down with Lambda Literary Award–nominated author M.A. Wardell, the incredible mind behind the spicy MM rom-coms he always wished existed. Our laughs were completely authentic, the kind that stay with you and my time with M.A is truly one I’ll never forget.
M.A's stories celebrate messy, flawed characters who find healing, humor, and love in all its beautiful chaos. But in this episode, we’re going deeper: exploring M.A’s incredible journey from wanting better MM representation to becoming a traditionally published author with Forever Publishing. His path is an inspiring blend of passion, persistence, plot twists, and unwavering love for storytelling.
We’re also celebrating something HUGE, the release of his newest rom-com, Teacher of the Year, out today! Matt shares the inspiration, heart, and humor, plus spice behind the book and what readers can expect from him next.
This episode is for rom-com fans, spice lovers, readers craving joyful representation, and every writer dreaming of seeing their name on a spine someday. M.A journey proves that even the messiest beginnings can lead to magical, unforgettable endings.
