Content warning: brief mentions of fictional sexual assault off the page throughout the episode.

We are so happy to talk with bestselling author Cameron Kelly Rosenblum, author of The Stepping Off Place and, now, The Sharp Edge of Silence.

After ten years on submission, Cameron can now sell fiction without even writing the whole book—making deals off of proposal.

We hope this happens for all of you!

Cameron Kelly Rosenblum is the author of The Stepping Off Place, named a Kirkus Best Book of 2020 and a Top 10 YA Dealing with Mental Health.  Her second novel, The Sharp Edge of Silence, releases 4/11/23 in the US and UK. Her books have been translated into Polish, Russian, Hebrew, and German. Cameron has been a teacher and a children’s librarian. She lives on the Maine coast with her family.
