Sara Saedi, author of NEVER EVER and its sequel, THE LOST KIDS
(out today!), as well as YA memoir AMERICANIZED: REBEL WITHOUT A
GREEN CARD, talks about her earliest boy-meets-girl story, how
being the child of immigrants made her write her first
screenplay, soap operas as writing boot camp,the blessing of
living in the time of email, and putting a narrative onto your
own life.
