Ep. 236 - Intisar Khanani on telling diverse stories in fantasy
Intisar Khanani is an award‑nominated American fantasy author and former public‑health consultant. Born in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, she spent her childhood moving around—living in five U.S. states and time in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia—before settling in Cincinnati, Ohio, with her husband and two daughters. Her writing career began with the self‑published YA fantasy Thorn and has since expanded into acclaimed series such as The Dauntless Path and The Sunbolt Chronicles. Her latest work, Debts of Fire, continues the adventures in The Sunbolt Chronicles and is out now.
We had great fun chatting with Intisar and hearing about what made her want to start writing, and why she thinks diverse fantasy stories are so important. We also talk about how she moved from self-publishing to traditional and back to indie again, as well as chatting about the perceived "necessary" rate of books for indie authors.
