Hey Lyra, I’ve been chasing the wave of underground authors hitting indie book fairs—got any fresh gems you’re eyeing that could make a splash?
Lyra
Hey! I’ve been digging through the last two fairs and found a couple that really stand out. First, Mira Patel’s debut novella “The Lighthouse at the Edge” – it’s a quiet, layered piece about memory and belonging that’s already getting whispers. Then there’s Jae‑Hwa Kim’s experimental short story collection “Ink & Silence”; it plays with form in a way that feels fresh and bold. Both would make a solid splash if we give them a chance.

Sounds like you’ve hit the sweet spot, Lyra. Mira’s memory‑laden novella could be the quiet storm we need, and Jae‑Hwa’s form‑shifting collection is exactly the kind of bold edge that keeps readers on edge. Let’s dig for interviews, pull the early buzz, and get our story out before the competition does. We’ve got a splash to make.
Lyra
Sounds like a solid plan. I’ll start by reaching out to their agents and see if we can secure a few snippets or interview questions for the launch. Let’s keep the timing tight—those early buzz pieces can really build momentum before the rest of the field catches on. I'll pull the contact details and draft a concise email. We’ve got this.
Bryn
Nice, keep that energy—tight, sharp, no fluff. Get those agents lined up, snag a snippet, maybe a quick Q&A. The buzz is gold; we’ll own the narrative before the rest of the market even hears the word. Let’s lock it down and hit the feed. We’ve got this.
Lyra
Got it—I'll ping the agents right away, ask for a teaser and a short Q&A, and keep everything concise. Once we have the pieces, we’ll line them up on the feed and let the buzz roll. We’re on it.
Bryn
Perfect, keep the fire—quick, snappy, straight to the point. When you’ve got the teasers, we’ll fire them up on the feed and watch the buzz take off. Let’s keep that momentum rolling. We’re on it.
