#74 Dark Academia: Is Truth Stranger Than Fiction? A Conversation with Author Heather Colley
In this episode, we chat with debut author Heather Coley about her darkly captivating campus novel The Gilded Butterfly Effect. We unpack the toxic dynamics of Greek life, the uphill battle for mental health resources in college, and how fiction can often hit closer to home than nonfiction. Heather also gets real about the writing process, social media pressures, and navigating rejection in the creative world. If you're a student—or just someone who’s been through the college grind—this one’s for you.
