Shots from before and during our Chicago TV interviews! Watch them here and here!

We had a blast interpreting the cover of Stephanie Kuehn’s CHARM & STRANGE, out everywhere books are sold today! Check it out!

Promoting radical empathy with your writing doesn’t just mean giving your character a few personality flaws that may be pretty ordinary or entertaining/endearing. Nor does it mean giving your character a Bad Past that makes them mysterious and dark. It means allowing your character to actively be just as deeply flawed, contradictory, mistake-prone, frustrating, beautiful, layered, and multitude-containing as a real human being - like you or me. — Emilia Plater, “Radical Empathy: Creating a Compelling Flawed Character” via YA Highway
