Your book has such a unique and fresh concept. What inspired it?
The biggest question that came up for me in reading this book was what did the research look like for it?! You get into a lot of specifics about pro-wrestling and how creators on OnlyFans build audiences. Were you just…on OnlyFans a whole lot?! :)
Your book is being adapted into a series by Apple, starring Elle Fanning and Nicole Kidman. What are you most excited about in this adaptation?
Who are your top literary influences?
Any current pop culture obsessions?
Rufi’s Reading RitualsWhat does your reading routine or ritual look like?
