Rebecca Lovato | ADVICE ON WRITING | yallfest authors 2016 | [CC] @WhyMermaids | Uploaded November 2016 | Updated October 2024, 36 minutes ago.
Audio can be hard to hear sometimes (will I never learn my lesson? I HAVE A MIC, I JUST NEED TO USE IT!), BUT there are closed captions if you can't understand what they're saying!

As a Creative Writing teacher, I saw YALLFest as an opportunity to interview some of the authors there for their advice for young writers.

Thanks to the following authors:Ryan Graudin - Wolf by Wolf, The Walled City
Jennifer E. Smith - This is What Happy Looks Like
Becky Albertalli - Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda
Victoria “V.E.” Schwab - A Darker Shade of Magic, This Savage Song, Vicious
S.J. Kincaid - The Diabolic, Insignia
Kiera Cass - The Selection, The Siren
Cinda Williams Chima - The Heir Chronicles, The Seven Realms
