For each writer on the publishing path, the journey is different. Today our guest is best-selling and award-winning author Wendelin Van Draanen. She writes YA fiction across genres in hopes that youth can find courage, relatability, and light in her stories.
Kathleen and Wendelin discuss how she became an author. Never having written a thing—from math teacher to signed author—she currently has published over 30 books. Her story is an integral part of the author's journey after 10 years of rejection. An editor finally saw what Wendelin knew was true already. Through perseverance and dedication to her main character, something any writer would benefit from when trying to sell their stories.
Fresh off a book tour for her newest novel, The Peach Rebellion. Set in 1940s central California, Wendelin made time to sit with our host for another can't miss episode of Talking Book Publishing.
