🩷 NEW EPISODE 🩷 Catch this brand new episode with Dani Vee and Zoe Gaetjens, not her first time on the Words and Nerds podcast (she was part of a Takeover with Amy Adeney back in 2024. This time Dani chats to Zoe about her new YA novel Drawing Nudes While Making Other Plans published by Penguin Random House. They chat about: ⭐️ Continuing to reinvent who you are. ⭐️ The path to publication in a career built on rejections. ⭐️ The importance of firsts. ⭐️ The power of art (and drawing nudes!) ⭐️ The writing process. Cleo would have loved to spend the summer before year 12 hanging out with her sister Emmy, who had a plan for dealing with every situation. Instead, Emmy is gone, and Cleo is attending a life drawing class with a bunch of random teenagers. Without Emmy’s plans to guide her, Cleo navigates new friendships, wonky penises and maybe even first love, discovering who she is and what she is capable of. A novel about finding yourself . . . in a room full of strangers, drawing naked people.
