Embracing Your Authentic Voice: An Interview with AK Nevermore

In this episode of the Write it Scared podcast, I talk to AK Nevermore, a science fiction and dark romantacy author who shares her unconventional journey to publishing success.

Through her story, AK highlights the importance of authenticity in writing, the importance of embracing one's voice, and the power of spite and persistence in overcoming rejection.

She discusses how deviating from literary expectations led to her distinct style that resonates with readers.

The conversation also explores themes of rewriting internal narratives that prevent writers from achieving their goals, the intricacies of writing series in dark romance, and strategies for managing a writing career amidst a busy life.

AK’s journey offers insights into the trials and triumphs of the writing process, the evolving nature of romance genres, and the significance of self-publishing as a viable path to sharing one's work with the world.
