Marissa chats with Lish McBride about her upcoming Beauty and the Beast retelling, CURSES, as well as how stand-up comedy helped Lish cultivate her humor-writing skills, the influence of supportive teachers, how going through tough times can make us more creatively resilient, and some tips for how writers can make a good impression at book signings - even if no one shows up!
