S3 E9: Chloe Gong & Shakespeare’s Ghost is Looking Out For You

Claribel and Kat discuss #PublishingPaidMe and break down
why it’s such an important conversation in publishing. Then they
interview NYT bestselling debut author, Chloe Gong about These
Violent Delights, her Chinese retelling of Romeo and Juliet in
historical Shanghai! We discuss how she got into writing (and how
writing for herself helped her write a unique story) and her
research process for both the setting and historical time period
she chose to set her debut novel.


Bio:


Chloe Gong is a student at the University of Pennsylvania,
studying English and international relations. During her breaks,
she’s either at home in New Zealand or visiting her many
relatives in Shanghai. Chloe has been known to mysteriously
appear when “Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare’s best plays
and doesn’t deserve its slander in pop culture” is chanted into a
mirror three times.
