Author Paige Lavoie, a Pod Exclusive

In our first podcast exclusive episode, Becca chats with Paige Lavoie, the author of the delightfully titled I’m in Love With Mothman. They talk about Paige's background as a romance reader and writer, including her start in web comics and the fanfic she hid in a binder under the bed. Paige talks about her first book, which she indie published, and some of the warnings she got about starting out that way. She also compares her experience as an indie author with her experience at a small to mid-sized press. They try to define Monster Romance and dig into why it might be so popular right now. Then they do the same thing with retellings, which are also popping up all over. Paige talks about her writing process, including writing with a chronic illness, and the origin story of I’m In Love With Mothman’s beautiful cover. Finally, they talk about Paige’s TikTok presence as a vintage influencer and as an author on BookTok.
