Hello Everyone! We are Writing with Witches, featuring authors Leona Urbansky and Nicole Autumn. Leona loves writing high fantasy novels with rich world-building and dynamic characters that will transport you into another world. Nicole loves dark fantasy that incorporates our world with relatable characters, hard-hitting, gritty topics, and heavy smut. Both of them also incorporate their craft, which is witchcraft, into their novels as well. They draw on their daily lives to help bring the magic and intrigue into the stories. This podcast will discuss what that means for them and how you can incorporate certain aspects into your own reading and writing journeys.   Where You Can Find Us: Email: [email protected] Website: writingwithwitches.com Tiktok: @writingwithwitches Instagram: @writingwithwitchespodcast Bluesky: @writingwithwitcches.bsky.social Facebook Page: Writing with Witches Discord Server: Writing with Witches   Leona Urbansky Email: [email protected] | [email protected] Website: leonaurbansky.com Bluesky: @leona-urbansky.bsky.social | @leosbookreviews.bsky.social Instagram: @leona.urbansky | @leosbookreviews Facebook Page: Author Leona Urbansky | Leo's Book Reviews Wordpress: leobookreview.wordpress.com Youtube:  @leosbookreviews8948    Nicole Autumn Email: [email protected] Website: authornicolesutumn.wixsite.com/nicole-autumn Discord Server: Autumn's Grove Tiktok: @authornicoleautumn Twitch: NicoleAutumn_Author Bluesky: @authornicoleautumn.bsky.social Instagram: @nicoleautumnauthor Facebook Page: Author Nicole Autumn Youtube:  @AuthorNicoleAutumn ​
