This week on the Reading Materials Podcast, we are so excited to be chatting with Simone Soltani, author of the Lights Out F1 series, whose newest book Crash Into You will be released on the 27th of August, 2026.

Join us for this lovely chat and hear all about how Simone originally intended to self-publish before getting picked up by a traditional publishing house, about why sensitivity readers are so important to her, and about her bad luck with choosing book titles.
