Today's interview is with Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone as we discuss their new plus-size heroine in "A Merry Little Meet Cute."

Learn why body positivity in our characters is so important and how the romance industry is changing to feel more inclusive.

This spicy romance discussion includes what they learned from forming this new "odd couple" writing partnership and how they rose to new creative challenges.
