251. Writing and Reading Sight Unseen: An Interview with Sherry Thomas, Erin Satie, and Emma Barry - a podcast by Sarah Wendell - Romance Novel Reviewer, Reader, and Author

I interview Sherry Thomas, Erin Satie, and Emma Barry, who - along with Meredith Duran and J.A. Rock - are the authors of five different novellas in the anthology, Sight Unseen. Released on June 6, each novella is anonymous, as in, you don’t know which author wrote which story. The authorship will be revealed on September 2017, so if you’re curious and want to guess, you can purchase this anthology at all major retailers.

Each was invited to “write something that scared them - a sub-genre they’d never written in before, characters or tropes that were over the top or underused, or a story they were told would not sell.” That freedom and the anonymity of writing without their names created a unique experience for each writer. This is a bit of a tricky interview, because I can’t ask questions about the stories themselves, or about anything that might reveal who wrote what. Our conversation covers branding, marketing, how they each approached the project, and what they learned through the experience. And of course, we talk about what they’re reading.
