Chibundu Onuzo, author of the Reese's and Amazon Editor's Book Pick Sankofa, joins Zibby to discuss her recent six-year journey to publication. Following a book deal at age nineteen and the release of her acclaimed debut, The Spider King's Daughter, at twenty-one, Chibundu pivoted to complete her Masters and PhD degrees — a move that inadvertently inspired her latest novel. Chibundu tells Zibby about that process, what inspired her to tell the story from the perspective of a woman twenty years her senior, and why she's determined to eventually write a children's book.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/2ZuFyzSBookshop: https://bit.ly/3bidPoE Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
