New Erotica for Feminists with Brooke Preston, Carrie Wittmer, and Fiona Taylor
#### What if Tom Hardy drove up to your house to deliver loads of LaCroix and cash? That\u2019s the premise of just one of the stories in _New Erotica for Feminists_, a book of \u201csatirical fantasies of love, lust, and equal pay.\u201d And we were lucky enough to talk to its authors!\n\nWe got three out of the four\u2014yes, four\u2014authors on the line to talk about writing the book, how they collaborate with so many different schedules and voices in the mix, what it\u2019s like to build a women-run comedy site on a shoestring, and why all of us could use a group of badass creative partners in our lives.\n\n> We all have a lot of rage at society\u2026and this partnership helps us sort of channel it into a constructive way where it\u2019s at least cathartic and we can feel like we\u2019re helping other people laugh. I mean, that\u2019s one of the things that came out of this book\u2014we would love for it to change the world. It\u2019s probably not going to do that, but at least it entertains people and makes them feel like they are not so alone. \n> **\u2014Fiona Taylor** , co-author, _New Erotica for Feminists_\n### Links on links on links\n\n[](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/599845/new-erotica-for-feminists-by-caitlin-kunkel-brooke-preston-fiona-taylor-and-carrie-wittmer/9780525540403/)Pick up [_New Erotica for Feminists_](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/599845/new-erotica-for-feminists-by-caitlin-kunkel-brooke-preston-fiona-taylor-and-carrie-wittmer/9780525540403/) pretty much everywhere \nBookmark _[The Belladonna](https://thebelladonnacomedy.com/)_, our guests\u2019 hilarious comedy site \nFollow the authors: [Caitlin Kunkel](https://twitter.com/KunkelTron), [Brooke Preston](https://twitter.com/bigu), [Carrie Wittmer](https://twitter.com/carriesnotscary), and [Fiona Taylor](https://twitter.com/fionaleslie) \nRead the [_McSweeney\u2019s_ piece that started it all](https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/new-erotica-for-feminists)\n\n### Also on the agenda\n\n- We talk about writing with coauthors: what works, what doesn\u2019t, and how to make sure no one loses their shit in the process\n- Katel talks about finding her own voice, distinct from her company\u2019s\n- Sara wonders if her freewheelin\u2019 podcastin\u2019 lifestyle is bad for business (and whether she cares)\n- (Spoiler: her bank account cares)\n- We say farewell to our co-host Jenn, who\u2019s sadly not coming back to the show next season (but whose hilarious takes on balancing parenting and professional badassery we miss every day)\n\n## Sponsors\n\nThis episode of NYG is brought to you by:\n\n[](https://www.shopify.com/careers)
