Behind the scenes with The Empress

by Gigi Griffis
The Empress: most requested historical fiction on NetGalley

In case you’re new around here, I should start with this: I wrote a book for Netflix. And it came out a couple weeks ago in tandem with the Netflix series of the same name:

The Empress.

In the couple weeks since the book hit US (and Croatian) shelves, I’ve had the pleasure of going behind the scenes in interviews, podcast conversations, and one very special copy of the book (which you can check out and bid on below). For those curious about all things The Empress, here’s a collection of the behind-the-scenes peeks:

This one-of-a-kind ARC is full of notes from me about favorite lines, historical tidbits, and behind-the-scenes looks at the process of adapting a book for Netflix. The highest bidder gets not only the ARC but the satisfaction of knowing they did some good in the world. All proceeds from the auction go to help Pakistan in the wake of the horrific flooding that landed something like a third of the country underwater.

P.S. If you’ve read a copy and haven’t reviewed it yet, would you take 30 seconds and do that now? Leaving reviews on Amazon or Barnes & Noble helps me out enormously!
