Description

Author Emily Krempholtz explains what cozy fantasy really means—why the genre is comforting, character-driven, community-centered, and focused on emotional warmth over epic battles. She breaks down the storytelling values that define it: gentle magic, small-town settings, internal growth, and an emphasis on healing, hope, and everyday wonder.This soundbite comes from our full interview discussing Emily’s debut novel, Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore, where we dive deep into her writing process, redemption arcs, slow-burn romance, worldbuilding, and more.If you’ve ever wondered what sets cozy fantasy apart, this clip is the perfect introduction.Watch the full interview for even more insights: https://youtu.be/_EyFawvigds
