Framing Scenes, Writing a YA Series, and A Bookseller Recommends Comps

From The Shit No One Tells You About Writing Bianca Marais, Carly Watters and CeCe Lyra

In today's jam-packed Bonus Episode, Bianca first chats with Grant Ginder, author of Let's Not Do That Again, about “unlikable” characters and what they might reveal about us as readers; the 5-Act structure; framing a scene to play with dramatic effect; and specificity in scenes according to what would be important for each particular character.

After which, Bianca chats with Tracy Wolff, bestselling author of The Crave Series about Tracy's journey to publication and writing across multiple genres; elements in YA that aren’t necessarily in other genres; being authentic to the experiences of your YA character; and the challenges of writing a series.

After which, Emilie Sommer from East City Book Shop joins us to give you comp titles!
