Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing Marissa Levien.

Marissa is a writer and artist who hails from Washington State and now lives in New York with a kindly journalist and their two cats. The World Gives Way is her first novel.

 

In this episode Marissa and I discuss:
  • How current and recent events influenced the dystopian future of her novel.
  • The unique point of view shifts she writes at the beginning of The World Gives Way.
  • Why empathy, human connection, and hope get readers to follow the journey.

 

Plus, her #1 tip for writers.
