Sara B. Larson joins the Lit Service Crew to chat about romantic arcs in YA, why they're so prevalent, and how to balance them against your plot in your own work.

Sara is the author of the Defy Series, the Dark Breaks the Dawn Duology, and the Sisters of Shadow and Light duology (the newest one just hit shelves!!) To learn more check out her website.

If you'd like signed copies of her books, you can get them here (be sure to put in the special instructions that you'd like it signed and to whom).

You can find the chapter we critiqued with all our notes here.

If you'd like a first chapter critique from the podcast or an upcoming guest, check out our submission guidelines.

Please consider supporting us on Patreon! We're going through some growing pains right now, and need some extra help around here (and want to pay that extra help!). We really appreciate your help and that you listen to our dodgy writing advice!!
