🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Freya Marske
Freya Marske’s award winning podcast “Be the Serpent” was born from the fact that she and two of her very close friends Jennifer Mace and Alexandra Rowland loved discussing the tropes and dissecting the fanfiction and speculative fiction they loved. They simply started recording every session they had, starting with a close comparison and reading of a piece of fan fiction and a short story by Ursula Le Guin. This would set the tone for much of the following years, and she has asserted that it had been an amazing ride. To do the research for her novel, Freya Marske had to wander a lot through the National Trust and art galleries filled with William Morris wallpaper to get a full understanding of the aesthetic.
