Debutiful
@debutiful.bsky.social
The premier literary website focused on debut and emerging writers. There’s also a podcast sometimes. Founded by Adam Vitcavage.
We have launched a new series called WRITER/TRANSLATOR where we invite, you guessed it, a writer and translator to discuss a book they've worked on.
First up is Simón López Trujillo and Robin Myers discussing PEDRO THE VAST.
