Description
In this week’s episode, Marissa chats with Terry J. Benton-Walker about his middle grade fantasy, ALEX WISE VS THE END OF THE WORLD. Also discussed: how a varied background that seems to not be related to writing can still inform a writer’s career, on being a super-plotter, exploring how people react in stressful situations (like an apocalypse!), creating real-life superhero characters, being thoughtful about writing characters and their arcs, curating an extensive resource to help writers, the importance of writing books that let kids see themselves, showing that representation matters, and so much more!Download Terry’s Novel Planning Kit: https://tjbentonwalker.com/writing-resourcesThe Happy Writer at Bookshop.org Purchasing your books through our webstore at Bookshop.org supports independent bookstores.
