This week, Leonora is so thrilled that Emily Ziff Griffin has joined her for a wonderful chat. Emily is a writer and producer and an all-around totally amazing human. Emily’s critically-acclaimed novel, Light Years, was developed for television by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment, and she is currently adapting her beloved New Yorker essay, “Last Dance With My Father,” for Endeavor Content. As the co-founder of Cooper’s Town Productions with her long-time collaborator and producing partner, the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, Emily produced the Oscar-winning feature Capote and PSH’s directorial debut, Jack Goes Boating.

Emily and Leonora discuss the many twists and turns of her fascinating career, what YA content means to them, and how to maintain a creative fire through grief.
