S2 E18: Victoria Lee & A Write Or Die Exclusive Secret

We talk about the financial reality of becoming a writer/author
and how writing full-time might not be right for everyone. Then
we interview Victoria Lee, the author of The Fever King and The
Electric Heir. We discuss what it was like to be traditionally
published at a new kind of publisher and what it felt like
working with Amazon.


BIO:


Victoria Lee grew up in Durham, North Carolina, where they spent
twelve ascetic years as a vegetarian before discovering spicy
chicken wings are, in fact, a delicacy. They’ve been a state
finalist competitive pianist, a hitchhiker, a pizza connoisseur,
an EMT, an expat in China and Sweden, and a science doctoral
student. They’re also a bit of a snob about fancy whisky.


Victoria writes early in the morning, then spends the rest of the
day trying to impress their border collie puppy and make their
experiments work.


They are represented by Holly Root and Taylor Haggerty at Root
Literary.
