Description
Marissa chats with Chloe Gong about her debut historical fantasy - THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS - as well as why readers continue to be enamored with Romeo & Juliet (despite the unfair scorn it receives in pop culture!); some of the decision making that goes into retelling a well-known and beloved story; building tension through world-building and using moments of omniscient point-of-view to help bring your setting to life; and how time-management has helped Chloe write her debut duology while also working toward her college degree.Books discussed in this episode can be purchased from your local independent bookstore or buy them online from the Happy Writer bookshop.org store (that benefits indie bookstores) at https://bookshop.org/shop/marissameyerBooks discussed in this episode can be purchased from your local independent bookstore or buy them online from the Happy Writer bookshop.org store (that benefits indie bookstores) at https://bookshop.org/shop/marissameyer Find out more and follow The Happy Writer on social media: https://www.marissameyer.com/podcast/
