Comedian and writer Zach Zimmerman joins Chelsea to dive into the Romantasy scandal at the heart of Katie Waldman’s New Yorker piece, “Did a Best-Selling Romantasy Novelist Steal Another Writer’s Story?” From agents co-writing in Google Docs to the publishing industry’s obsession with vampires in Vegas, they explore the boom of Romantasy against the backdrop of the scandal and the nightmare of realizing your agent may have ghosted you... for someone else's career.
