Join us for a virtual event with editor S. Zainab Williams and contributors Mia P. Manansala, Susan Purr, and Wen Wen Yang, to celebrate the publication of FIT FOR THE GODS!

FIT FOR THE GODS is an anthology of gender-bent, queered, race-bent, and inclusive retellings from the enchanting and eternally popular world of Greek myth. Brave, bold, and groundbreaking, the stories in Fit for the Gods will be like ambrosia for those craving fresh interpretations of their favorite myths, and give long-time fans a chance to finally see themselves in these beloved legends.

A podcaster and director of content for Book Riot, and a member of PEN America’s Literary Awards Committee, she spends most of her days thinking about how to make the world of books and reading more inclusive and progressive.

Mia P. Manansala (she/her) is a writer and certified book coach from Chicago who loves books, baking, and badass women.

She is the author of the award-winning Tita Rosie’s Kitchen Mystery series. A lover of all things geeky, Mia spends her days procrastibaking, playing JRPGs and dating sims, reading cozy mysteries and diverse romance, and cuddling her dogs, Gumiho and Max Power.

Her poetry and short stories have appeared in various anthologies in recent years, as well as within her chapbook, Through Windows.
