Ep 118: Will Kostakis

Will Kostakis, who makes his U.S. debut with The Sidekicks and
has two books, The First Third and Loathing Lola, published in
his native Australia, talks about approaching every book like it
could be his last, spite writing, being the writer he is today
because of a personal tragedy, and the difference between the
Australian and U.S. YA markets.
