14 Apr 2021
Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing David Yoon. David is the author of the New York Times bestseller Frankly In Love, as well as the upcoming YA novel Super Fake Love Song and adult thriller Version Zero. He also drew the illustrations for his wife Nicola Yoon's #1 New York Times bestseller Everything, Everything. He and his wife are also heading up a new imprint of Random House Children's Books called Joy Revolution. This imprint will debut in 2022 and will be devoted to publishing teen love stories by and about people of color. In this episode David and I discuss: Why he decided to write a book for adults after success in the YA genre. Uncovering your central dramatic question and how to explore it in your writing. His process for "Marie Kondo-ing" his brain and what he does with the space. Plus, his #1 tip for writers. For more info and show notes: DIYMFA.com/353
