so i’m garbage at self-promotion, which is obvious from the fact that I literally haven’t mentioned this until Right Now, but my third book, FINAL DRAFT, hits shelves in the US/UK tomorrow, june 12! here’s some stuff about it:
what does it look like?
very dramatic!
what is it about?
a girl named laila who writes sci-fi
one day, her ever-supportive writing teacher gets in a car accident and is replaced by a sadistically critical Pulitzer Prize-winning author
said author believes that in order to write effectively, one must push themselves in reality to experience risk–utterly counter to laila’s sheltered, comfortable, 100% fiction-centered existence
laila begins to push herself beyond her comfort zone in pursuit of artistic perfection & writing material
kirkus called it a “must-read” in a starred review, bookpage called it a “must-have,” and it also received positive reviews from booklist and school library journal, so i’m optimistic
that said, i think it’ll be more polarizing than my other books–it’s not particularly quick or plotty, it’s very introspective, and is written with some distance in 3rd person past tense (a tad unusual for YA). if this already doesn’t sound like your bag, take heed! read the sample first or something
