Welcome back to Ink Mates! the podcast that brings you the stories behind the stories from a diverse community of authors. In this episode, host Michelle sits down with speculative fiction author Lynnae for a deep, unfiltered dive into the worlds of fantasy and sci-fi.

Why do certain classic tales still hold an iron grip on our cultural consciousness? Lynnae unpacks the heavy lifting required for creative worldbuilding, especially when it comes to carving out spaces for historically neglected and marginalized communities. Pull up a chair, grab your favorite fountain pen, and let's get into the ink.
