Of the Publishing Persuasion - with DAUGHTER OF CALAMITY Author Rosalie M. Lin

Finally we are able to release this incredible episode. Which is extra full of Big Magic for two reasons - first of all, because we got to chat with the incredible human that is THE Rosalie M. Lin. BUT ALSO!!! Because our intro features a chat that happened not even an hour after your Aussie cloaca queen Melanie HAD THE CALL WITH HER BRAND NEW AGENT!!!

We can finally share it now the news is out!! So excited for you all to tune in. But first, here's more about Rosalie!

Rosalie M. Lin is a Chinese-American writer from the San Francisco Bay Area. She has, at various points in the past decade, graduated with a degree in Comparative Literature, pole-danced in two Beijing nightclubs, and dropped out of a biomedical PhD program, before seriously pursuing her original dream of becoming an author. Rosalie was a Pitch Wars mentee in 2020.

About DAUGHTER OF CALAMITY :Jingwen spends her nights as a showgirl at the Paramount, one of the most lavish clubs in Shanghai, competing ruthlessly to charm wealthy patrons. To cap off her shifts, she runs money for her grandmother, the exclusive surgeon to the most powerful gang in the city. A position her grandmother is pressuring her to inherit…
When a series of cabaret dancers are targeted―the attacker stealing their faces―Jingwen fears she could be next. And as the faces of the dancers start appearing on wealthy foreign socialites, she realizes Shanghai's glittering mirage of carefree luxury comes at a terrible price.
Fighting not just for her own safety but that of the other dancers―women who have simultaneously been her bitterest rivals and only friends―Jingwen has no choice but to delve into the city's underworld. In this treacherous realm of tangled alliances and ancient grudges, silver-armed gangsters haunt every alley, foreign playboys broker deals in exclusive back rooms, and the power of gods is wielded and traded like yuan. Jingwen will have to become something far stranger and more dangerous than her grandmother ever imagined if she hopes to survive the forces waiting to sell Shanghai's bones.
