For the past two years, I’ve been working tirelessly on a novel. But after a scathing critique, I got stuck—really stuck. Desperate for a way forward, I tried getting an agent, only to face rejections and silence. Then my muse whispered: “Just start… do it yourself, Scarlet.” So, I shifted gears and compiled my short stories from Medium and Substack into what has now become my debut collection: Scarlet Yearnings: Stories of Love and Desire.
Fast forward, and here we are—just six days away from launch! On October 14, I’ll be celebrating with family, friends, and YOU! 🎉
