A.B. Herron blends elements of fantasy and romance in her fiction. She shares about balancing a full-time job while diving headfirst into the world of writing, the joy of connecting with readers at book fairs, and the critical role a supportive community plays in overcoming challenges, especially for authors with dyslexia.

  • Forming and maintaining a tight-knit writing group, which Amanda formed through a combo of accidental encounters, the NextDoor app, and  a bit of subterfuge
  • The necessity of ongoing learning in the writing and publishing industry
  • Launching with stand-alones instead of a series
  • The importance of figuring things out on her own along the way
  • Advice for overcoming obstacles and believing in your story
