S4 E7: Emiko Jean & We Don’t Need Permission to Write

Claribel & Kat talk about how to prepare for panels &
some quick tips on how to answer interview questions. Then they
interview NYT Bestselling author Emiko Jean about her publishing
journey, how publishing has changed since she first queried in
2011, and what it’s been like building an author career.


Emiko’s BIO: When Emiko is not writing, she is
reading. Most of her friends are imaginary. Before she became a
writer she was an entomologist (fancy name for bug catcher), a
candle maker, a florist, and most recently a teacher. She lives
in Washington with her husband and children (unruly twins). She
loves the rain.
