The Las Musas Podcast pulls back the veil and shares all the details about our publishing journeys, what debut year is really like, and how we're working towards creating a sustainable writing career in an industry still struggling with diversity, equity, and transparency.
On today’s episode of the podcast, we’ll be talking to a few of our Las Musas members, Steena Hernandez, Maritere Bellas, and J de la Vega, and hearing all about their book recommendations for the holiday season!
