Fantasy Romance With Teeth with Margarita Artista

A romantasy author explains how stories become meaningful...A phoenix hatches in a college dorm and nothing stays normal. We’re joined by fantasy romance author Margarita Artista, creator of The Phoenix Keeper, to talk about how an urban fantasy romance can deliver the swoon while still carrying a serious punch of meaning. From there, we zoom out into craft and publishing. Margarita breaks down a real-world writing process: plotting big, rewriting early drafts as you grow, and learning when “perfect” is the enemy of “done.” We also talk self-publishing with Kindle Direct Publishing, what it feels like to rack up agent rejections, and why a small press can be a sweet spot between indie freedom and traditional publishing structure.If you love romantasy, forced proximity tension, and fantasy that actually has something to say, hit play.
