Hi, I'm Zibi Owens, and you're listening to Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books.

This 30-minute podcast features a new author interviewed by me every single day, 365 days a year, for about 30 minutes.

I am also the publisher for Zibi Books, which publishes 12 books a year in fiction and memoir.

Our books are already out now.

You can check it out on ZippyBooks.com.

And we have a magazine called Zibby Mag where we have lots of wonderful essays and lifestyle

features.

That's at Zibbymag.com.

We have classes at Zippy Classes.com.

And I recently opened a bookstore in L.A. called Zibby's Bookshop

at 1-1-1-3 Montana Avenue at 11th Street in San Monica. I hope that you are able to enjoy some of

our other offerings. But this here podcast is the basis of all of it and started in 2018.

And no matter what I do, this is basically my favorite thing. Enjoy.

Amelia Pozanza is the author of Lesbian Love Story, a memoir in archives. A full-time book

publicist and part-time writer, Amelia currently lives in Brooklyn with her cat. Her work has appeared in the Washington Post, BuzzFeed, Electric Literature, the Millions, and NPR's Invisibilia. Her first book, Lesbian Love Story, came out from Catfult. Welcome, Amelia. Thank you so much for coming on Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books to Discuss Lesbian Love Story, a Memoir in Archives. Thank you for much for coming on moms. Don't have time to read books to discuss lesbian love story, a memoir in archives.

Thank you for having me. Well, this is so fun because I first knew you as a book publicist trying to spread the word about other books. And then I saw you had a book coming out. I'm like, that is so exciting. And of course, like, and then I read your book and you're obviously a phenomenal writer and took us through this whole process of digging deep and learning about lesbians through history and developing like real attachments to a lot of them and sprinkling in little bits and pieces about yourself along the way.

So anyway, this is just so fun. So thanks for coming on.

Yeah, thanks for having me. I like to think that now I've become a publicist for lesbians. We need someone. We need someone to spread the word. Yeah,

you've just hired yourself. They can't even fire you. They're stuck with you. Okay, well,

why don't you explain a little bit about your book for listeners? Yeah, well, I love the way that you described it. I'm like, I'm going to have to write that down and use that.

Go ahead.

But sort of it started out as the story of me trying to find the lesbian role models that I had never really learned about growing up.
