Hello, survivors! Before we get to our Season 2 premiere (coming very soon) we have something special for you.

Literary events are mostly postponed right now, so Brandon and fellow creative Adam Shaftoe have gathered eleven readers for a massive, virtual reading event. Whether you enjoy it alone or in a live listening party, we hope this satisfies some of the community ache we’re all feeling, and that you enjoy the first volume in the No One’s Alone Reading Series.

Huge thank you to our contributing readers for taking part and donating their time. Please check out work by these authors, through your local bookstore or by supporting them directly through websites, Patreon, etc.
