Amelia Possanza, LESBIAN LOVE STORY: A Memoir in Archives

Zibby speaks to book publicist and debut author Amelia Possanza about Lesbian Love Story, a riveting, inventive book that weaves together memoir, archival nonfiction, and fictional passages to uncover seven lesbian romance stories that were written out of history. Amelia defines what the word lesbian means to her and explains how and why she decided to explore these stories of untraditional relationships and lesbians rejecting mainstream norms. She also talks about her queer swim team, her coming-out experiences, her book-filled childhood, her job in book publicity, and her best advice for aspiring authors. Purchase on Zibby's Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3PmHfr2Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3JgHsrWSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.** Want more?
