What makes sapphic romance feel so electric right now?

In today’s episode, we sit down with Rena Sapon White and Ella Schaefer, creators of @smokeshow.press and authors of The Christmas Pick and Sweet Talk, to talk about desire, rivalry, audience appetite, and what it really takes to write queer love stories that feel honest.

We explore why readers are craving slow burns, and tension you can almost taste. If you’ve ever wondered how queer romance gets built from spark to page, this one’s for you.

What’s your favorite sapphic romance trope?
