“How can I not ask you about writing a magic system?!”

WDYD? is reaching its troublesome teens, so today’s guest couldn’t be more fitting. Ella is a published writer of Young Adult fiction, so we get into the ups and downs of writing for teens,  the publishing industry and the perils of the blank page. In Jargon Buster, we discuss the mysterious place that is #BookTok, and in a moment of inspiration I try to secure a book deal for Jobby and Jargon, the job-hunting cats. Offers to my agent, please…

Ella’s book Rapunzella, Or, Don't Touch My Hair is available all over, so why not treat your teenage self and grab a copy:
