In this episode, Sarah and Emily interview the number 1 New York Times Bestselling author, Judy I. Lin. Judy talks to us about her experience launching her debut young adult novel and its sequel in under a year, the unique magic system in her YA Fantasy novel (based on tea!) and her love for commissioning art as a way to boost her marketing efforts. We also discuss the power of using folklore to expand your world-building and infuse your novel with culture and richness.
