SCRIVENER I AM POOR AND AVAILABLE FOR PAID PARTNERSHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCRIVENER! Scrivener!!! EVERYONE SHOULD BUY SCRIVENER! It’s an excellent writing software!!!!!! MR. What was the best money you ever spent as a writer? What first inspired you to start writing?

She is an amazing writer, and I’m in awe of her for that, too, but I also love the way she is always able to give honest feedback, and the fact that she’s really good at helping me flesh out my characters and figure out the story I want to tell.Īlso she fixes my typos and my ESL mistakes, which is not for the faint of heart. But also, I just think that her personality is a perfect match for mine, because she’s really calm and logical and chill and wise, and I am… not. I mean, she’s funny and beautiful and smart and understands that pumpkin spice is the worst substance in the history of carbon-based matter (if it even iscarbon-based, I mean, does it even contain traces of real pumpkin? WHO’S TO SAY?). Truly, everybody needs a Jen in their life. My friend Jen, who is amazing and whom I love sooooo much. Seriously, we’re approaching the decade mark.ĭo you have a regular first reader? If so, who is it and why? T ell us a secret about the main character in your novel - something that’s not even in your book.Īt the start of the book, Adam Carlsen hasn’t gotten laid in like… a billion years. I’m represented by the amazing Thao Le of the Sandra Dijkstra Literary Agency.įind me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram When I’m not at work you can find me binge-watching shows with my feline overlords (and my slightly less feline husband), running, or eating candy. Oh, the sheer dread of being entrusted with the care of young minds! I recently became a professor, which absolutely terrifies me. I’m originally from Italy, lived in Japan and Germany, and eventually moved to the US to pursue a Ph.D.

And Ali is not only an amazing writer, she also crochets the cutest things (see the picture at the end of the post) for her fellow authors. The MC, Olive, is so endearing and real that you’ll want to be her friend. How could you not want to read that! It’s also a BuzzFeed Best Summer Read of 2021.

We are so excited to have Ali here because her debut, The Love Hypothesis, which will be out on Septemis about a fake relationship between two scientists. This week’s interview is with Ali Hazelwood, a fellow Berkley author of Deb Lyn Liao Butler.
