All of Becky's writing is excellent, but if you haven't read The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet it's a great place to start. It's a wonderful, warm, and character-driven space opera that follows the tight-knit crew of a wormhole-drilling starship working their way across the galaxy.

We talked with Becky about:

Growing up in a 'space' family
Going from self-publishing to winning a Hugo
Her process for creating her wonderful characters
Using the search for identity as central conflict
Becky's biggest influences
