Why You Shouldn’t Make Every Change Your Beta Readers Suggest
Manage episode 433071465 series 2952214
In today's Books with Hooks, we’re throwing it back to an early backlist segment.
After which, Bianca interviews MK Pagano, author of the YA thriller romance, Girls Who Burn. The two discuss MK's journey to publication; the importance of knowing when to part ways with an agent, even if s/he is a good agent; MK's experience with beta readers and following your heart when it comes to editing; how MK pitched her 'romantic thriller'; deciding on characters' ages when writing YA; why MK chose first person POV for her novel; writing with a cast of characters; and MK's advice for debut authors.
