Did you want more smut?
I’m chatting with Alexa Sierra, co-founder of Nashville Smut, the spicy book club-turned-brand that’s taken over Music City and the internet one smutty read at a time.
What started as a Facebook group between two childhood besties has grown into a full-blown movement with in-person meetups, viral merch, and their very own indie book festival, Tempted by Fiction.
We talk about:
- How Nashville Smut got started (and why it almost didn’t)
- Growing a community without a big budget or social media experience
- The truth about planning events and selling spicy merch
- What really goes viral on Instagram and TikTok
- Lessons from building a business while working full-time
- And yes, we get all the smutty book recs you could ever want
Whether you’re a fellow smut-lover, thinking of starting a bookish side hustle, or just need a feel-good story about women making magic, this one’s for you.
