We talk about how Zibby published her first essay -- as a teenager,  what it's like to produce a podcast every single day, the stories behind Zibby's debut novel Blank, and why it's time for authors to be treated like rockstars. We also cover Zibby's boundless energy, how she lifts up other authors, and her advice for writing authentically.
