Ep329 - Dana Schwartz, Author Reese’s Book Club Pick ‘Anatomy - A Love Story’

Since elementary school, Dana Schwartz has been writing full-length books. Today, she’s known for her work as a writer, author, and podcaster. Most recently, Dana published the book Anatomy: A Love Story, which was recently chosen as a pick for Reese Witherspoon’s book club. Set against the backdrop of 1830’s Edinburgh, this is a gothic tale full of mystery and romance. Inspired by grave robbers and the burgeoning Edinburgh surgical academic scene in the nineteenth century, this is a deliciously gruesome tale about the lengths one will go to for their passions – and the sinister twists and turns that are always lurking around the gaslit, cobblestone streets of a city where it's much more popular to die than it is to live. In this interview, Dana talks about being a prolific writer, creating leverage with Twitter, how “work begets more work,” why YA is more about marketing these days, and how novice writers can break into the industry today.
