This week we are joined by author, educator, bookseller, dog mom and champion of plus-size protagonists Jenny L. Howe. Jenny shares how her passion for stories began at two years old with a wild imagination, that the horror genre was her first love, what it's really like being in the query trenches, and how she eventually landed on a path to traditional publishing via an idea spawned by her grad school experience. We also deep dive on the importance of plus-size representation in romance and YA, how book cover art comes to be, which of her characters was inspired by Channing Tatum in She's the Man, why she loves setting books in Massachusetts, and how she dreamed up the idea for her upcoming release: How Not to Renovate a Haunted House. To see the full list of books we mention, including what Jenny is enjoying reading right now, join us on Instagram @plansarebooked. You can also write to us at [email protected].
