Co-writing Romance with Your Spouse, Emily Wibberly and Austin Siegmund-Broka

Hello, Protagonists!

Welcome to another episode of the Creative, Inspired, ALIVE podcast—where we go behind the scenes with the storytellers shaping our culture.

Our next guests, Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegmund-Broka, are a married Romance writing team! They met and fell in love in high school. Austin went on to graduate from Harvard, while Emily graduated from Princeton. Together, they are the authors of multiple novels, including The Roughest Draft and Reese’s YA Bookclub Pick Heiress Takes All. They are also two-thirds of USA Today bestselling author E.B. Asher. So much teamwork! Seeing Other People is their latest novel.

Today, we talk about:

* writing in partnership,

* trends in the romance genre,

* incorporating speculative elements,

* and the writing scene in LA.

xo,

Joanna & Evelyn
