On earning the heightened moments in your writing. Also, you don't have to be writing to be writing!

Julie lives in San Francisco with her husband, their rescue pup, and a magical Meyer lemon tree in the backyard that somehow always has ripe lemons. When she’s not writing, she enjoys making unnecessary spreadsheets and flambéing things. The Teller of Small Fortunes is her debut novel.

How to go from feeling your way through a story to actually knowing a bit about it before you start! Also - what does a cat have to do with kindness?

Ann Rose is a typical Taurus—loyal but stubborn, which means being an author is perfect. While asking the private group chat for ideas on what to include in this bio, Ann was reminded that some of her greatest qualities are her awesome best friends from high school—a fact she couldn’t argue with. She loves dark chocolate, sarcasm, her family, tacos, and her cats—obviously not in that order. Ann also writes young adult novels under the pen name A.M. Rose. The Seemingly Impossible Love Life of Amanda Dean is her most recent novel.

On being unapologetic about investing in yourself as a writer! Rachael and Rebekah also talk about the value of friends, and about writing being alive, never stagnant!

Rebekah Faubion is the author of THE LOVERS, a Nora Ephron-style, sapphic rom-com coming Summer 2024 from Berkley. She is also the author of young adult horror novel LOST GIRLS coming from Delacorte Press in 2026. When she isn’t writing books that make her bi soul sing, she enjoys watching anything romantic or scary (or, better yet, both), hiking in the Hollywood Hills, and reading tarot by candlelight.
