From BookTok Skits to Bestseller: Hannah Nicole Maehrer on Villains, Frogs & Found Family
How do you go from filming short comedy skits about a “villain’s assistant” to writing a bestselling romantic fantasy series with a frog mascot, fan merch, and readers around the world?
In this episode, Fresh Fiction’s Samantha Tennant sits down with author Hannah Nicole Maehrer—the creative mind behind Assistant to the Villain, Apprentice to the Villain, and Accomplice to the Villain—to chat about:
• Turning BookTok creativity into a publishing phenomenon
• Found family, quick banter, and her Syrian family roots
• Writing with ADHD and thriving amid chaos
• The behind-the-scenes story of the Kingsley plush frog
• What’s next in the villainverse (and why readers might be mad about it 👀)
Grab your headphones and get ready to laugh your way through a charming, relatable, and inspiring conversation about creativity, community, and unapologetic joy in storytelling.
