In the fourth episode of season two, Peter and Erica talk with Afro-latinx author, poet, and photographer Jarrard Raju about leaning into a love of prose, being an author of color in the industry, and their experience as a contributor on the forthcoming anthology WHERE MONSTERS LURK AND MAGIC HIDES. Come for the honest query talk, stay for the amazing way Jarrard takes risks in publishing.
Also joy. Lots of joy.
