Seasonal Prose by the Collective
Seasonal Prose by the Collective is a book club podcast for discovering women's fiction through thoughtful conversation. Each season, the hosts curate three atmospheric books—mostly literary fiction, fantasy, and horror—written by women from around the world. Monthly episodes explore the deeper meanings of the stories and share personal reflections. The show aims to introduce listeners to new authors, broaden their literary horizons, and celebrate a sense of sisterhood.
