On this episode, UTC English instructor and alumna Jessica Miller (J. Kasper Kramer) talks about how UTC’s creative writing MA program poised her for success with her first novel, The Story that Cannot Be Told. Jessica tells us about the road from idea to publication, discusses why she was drawn to young adult fiction as a genre and how it’s more nuanced than some might think, and gives us a look forward to her next project, The List of Unspeakable Fears and why we like scary stuff.
