In this episode, I'm delighted to welcome bestselling author, Sarah Arthur.

Sarah's debut YA fantasy novel, Once A Queen has recently hit the shelves courtesy of Penguin Random House.

We chat all about writing a YA fantasy novel, creating characters, transitioning from writing non-fiction to fiction, creating a magic portal-based system, and building a fantasy world within our real world.

We also explore writing Young Adult fiction (YA) and how it's become its own genre that deals with issue-driven stories. Sarah shares some brilliant insights into how to connect with and reach a younger audience here.
