The Freelancer
The Freelancer explores the fiction publishing world through a queer, social justice lens. It’s for authors and industry professionals committed to building thoughtful, lasting careers.
It covers how to sustain creative work in ways that prioritize care, relationship-building, and long-term artistic practice over the relentless grind of capitalism, tech-bro disruption narratives, and AI hype.
New episodes will drop when I have the energy!
