I was asked to write an essay on developing setting for writer’s digest, if anyone wanted to read (my thesis being that it’s all about mood, shocking I know)— www.writersdigest.com/setting-the-...

My friend, Jo Schulte, and I are planning a mini book tour and while I've been spoiled by the support locally I am now completely terrified not a single soul will show up. So that said, if you're in any of these places plz come hang out! We're doing some fun stuff with other writer friends.

I know y’all already know about the Barnes & Noble preorder sale that’s happening right now, so if you ever wanted a dark contemporary fantasy version of YA KNIVES OUT thats gives at once both SCHITT’S CREEK and PAN’S LABYRINTH vibes… might I suggest The Whisperwood Legacy?

Hey Bookish Influencers!! Ever wish authors could find YOU more easily? If you're interested in being included in a database that authors can reference when looking for bookish influencers to review and promote their work, just fill out the form (via the linktree in my bio).

Intro time? I’m Jo Schulte, author of voicey, atmospheric books. My debut THE WHISPERWOOD LEGACY comes out 5/27/25. It is a twisty YA contemporary fantasy that is Knives Out but with magic, about an amusement park shrouded in dark secrets—and the family desperate to inherit at any cost. Hey y’all!

Checklist of what you’ll find in my book the Whisperwood Legacy. Knives out meets the Hazelwood via Dollywood Appalachia. Idiots idiots in love. A magic system that is an allegory for the creative process. This family puts the fun in dysfunctional. Get losers we’re getting traumatized. Sapphic longing for days. Abandoned theme park setting. All too well (Taylor’s version) (10 minute version) meet Queens don’t stop me now—somehow.

My kingdom for an audiobook app that can tell when I’ve fallen asleep and spare me the morning after search for where in the story I lost consciousness
