Courting By The Book - An Interview with Jeff Bigler, Leigh Dreyer, and Diane Ferguson

This week we're joined by not one, not two, but three Jane Austen Fan Fiction authors! Jeff Bigler, Leigh Dreyer, and Diane Ferguson stop by the podcast to talk about Courting by the Book, a one-of-a-kind collaborative anthology where eleven authors tell an interconnected Pride & Prejudice story, each bringing their own voice, favorite tropes, and creative twists to the journey.

From the initial brainstorming sessions to developmental editing involving authors in multiple countries, this conversation offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how an ambitious collaborative novel came together. We also dive into JAFFCON (registration coming soon!), favorite Pride & Prejudice variations, how anthologies help us discover new authors, and Leigh's surprisingly important contribution of one very memorable goose.

If you've ever wondered what happens when a group of passionate JAFF authors decide to build a literary multiverse together, this episode is for you!

How much does how we read change what we read? Is the book we hear actually the same book as the one we read? We like to think our opinion of a book is about the story itself. But what if the format m...
