Georgia Clark on Island Time

Meet the Author with Allison Trowbridge

Pub Date is a podcast dedicated to the love of books, and the authors who bring them into the world! In today’s episode, Copper Director of Communications, Alex Hudgens, sits down with bestselling author, host, and founder– Georgia Clark! Her new book ‘Island Time’ has launched into the world, and it’s the perfect romantic comedy to make your trip to the beach this summer sweeter, smarter, and spicier!

Simon & Schuster describes ‘Island Time’ as “a sumptuous summer read that dives deep into queer romance, family secrets, ambition, parenthood, and a bird-chasing bromance.” It’s also a love letter to Georgia’s native Australia, written during a time in which she couldn’t leave NYC to visit home– lockdown during a global pandemic. In this episode of Pub Date, Georgia dives into how she wrote such a clever, adventurous, and heartfelt rom-com, especially during the trying time that was Covid quarantine.
This episode is for you not only if you’re looking for the perfect summer read, but also, if you’re an author or aspiring author looking to write a romantic comedy! Georgia shares helpful insights from her own writing process, encouragement on getting published as a fiction writer, and advice for writing an ensemble novel that is diverse and reflective of actual human relationships… while still delivering the fun surprises and feel-good moments that we’ve come to expect from great rom-coms. Georgia doesn’t shy away from the pain and heartbreak of real life in ‘Island Time’; however, she does provide an excellent balance between the tough stuff and the delightful, hopeful, sexy, fun, and joyful stuff!
