Amie Kaufman On Writing
Writing Morally Ambiguous Characters with Marie Lu (Season 1, Bonus Episode 1)
09 Nov 2020
I loved this week's question about writing morally ambiguous characters, and since we're in bonus episode territory I thought we should do something fun. So I called on one of my dearest friends, and one of the smartest and most insightful people I know, to see how she'd answer Sarina's question. Marie Lu is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of a bunch of my favourite books and is known by readers worldwide for her morally ambiguous characters. You can find Marie on Twitter at @marie_lu and on Instagram at @marieluthewriter, or at her website, where you can also sign up for her newsletter. I'll also remind you again that her latest release is Skyhunter, and it's fantastic. You can find me at my website – you can subscribe to my newsletter there, for behind-the-scenes peeks at how I write, and any other news about new books, events or the podcast. You can also submit a question for the podcast there. You can find me on Instagram at @AmieKaufmanAuthor or on Twitter at @AmieKaufman. This podcast is produced by the lovely Kate Armstrong, host of one of my favourite podcasts, The Exploress, which time travels through women's history one era at a time.
