We don’t need permission to tell midlife women’s stories—but it’s nice when the media notices.

The women of Empress Editions are doctors, disruptors, moms, mavens, and multi-hyphenates who are done playing small. Our words have been featured in outlets like Forbes, Glamour, Oprah Daily, and Prevention—and whispered about in powder rooms everywhere.

As Seen In:

Advanced Praise

  • “QUICKIES is like your funniest, realest friend handing you a margarita and saying, ‘Let’s talk about sex, aging, and why your underwear drawer needs an overhaul.’”

    – Kirsten Miller, New York Times bestselling author of The Change

  • “Dr. Bartos hands women their power back—wrapped in wit and wisdom.”

    – Melanie Barr, She Built It podcast

  • “Dr. Bartos is the kind of ob-gyn every woman deserves to have—a unique blend of whip-smart and down to earth, a clinician you’d feel comfortable talking to about anything. In Quickies, she gives all of us the information we need about a topic too many of us don’t feel comfortable bringing up with our own doctors: sex and all the ways it changes at midlife.”

    —Meghan Rabbitt, health journalist and author of The New Rules of Women’s Health

  • “Fun, sizzling, and refreshing, Quickies is the pleasure and intimacy BFF that can turn your midlife years into your best yet. From radical self-acceptance and debunked myths to illuminating 101s on sex toys, fantasies, and bedroom challenges, nothing is off the table.”

    —August McLaughlin, journalist, author, and Girl Boner Radio host/producer

  • “Heather Bartos is absolutely my favorite gyno. She's super smart, funny, and completely real—like an ideal mashup of gyno and that one amazing best friend you tell everything to. Quickies is full of the deep wisdom on everything your midlife sexual self needs—from the best ways to wield a sex toy to how to determine whether someone's really too busy or just kind of a dick. Take it to bed, and you'll emerge braver, smarter, and good n' ready to design your own best sex life.”

    —Jill Hamilton, Cosmo
