It’s ‘Wheels Up’ on Chip Pons’ Steamy New Romance ‘Winging It With You’

When the idea for his novel Winging It With You first came to Chip Pons, it wasn’t just about crafting a swoon-worthy romcom. It was about building something much more important. Inspired by his and his husband’s favorite late-night comfort watch, a deep love of fake dating tropes, and, of course, Taylor Swift, the story took flight in more ways than one. What started as a fun, chaotic adventure on the page turned into one and the same for the Chip. After a successful self-published debut that transitioned him from Bookstragrammer to author, he decided to try writing a different genre. His exercise in leaning into happiness would set him on the path to traditional publishing and the opportunity to share his vision with a wider audience. Now, spurred on by what he calls a “dream team” of agents and editors, Chip is ready to show the world the value in showcasing and celebrating queer joy.
