Summary

Alice Berman is the author of the Audible Originals book I Eat Men Like Air. This murder mystery takes place as seven twentysomethings gather to celebrate their friend's upcoming wedding. I just could not stop listening! I loved chatting with Alice about her love of true crime, the importance of cultivating friendships with other authors and the process of bringing a story to life with Audible. Alice’s other work, Lost Boys and Technicolor Girls, is in development with ABC to become a series with Freeform. Plus Alice is a crucial member of my team as head of partnerships!
