Marissa chats with Nova McBee about her young adult suspense series - CALCULATED - as well as why receiving rejections is actually a good thing that will help set you up for success; listening to your intuition, especially when it comes to making difficult career decisions (like possibly turning down an agent's offer of representation in order to hold out for "the one"); how going out and living your life makes you a better writer with plenty of fodder for new ideas; lots of nerding out over fascinating research, plus some great travel resources to help bring your real-world settings to life; the importance of being bored once in a while; and why writing duel timelines into a single narrative is so tricky, plus some tips on how to do it right.
