Hope everyone has had a lovely, safe holiday thus far! As we head into the new year, this post is about our interview with Ben Philippe. It was a pleasure speaking with the author about a month ago about his forthcoming novel The Field Guide to the North American Teenager (January 9, 2019). Ben has written for a ton of notable publications and is a screenwriter, story editor and professor of English Film Studies at Barnard College. He is excited for the world to get to know his character Norris, who is also helping to add fresh voices and visibility in mainstream storytelling. Check out the interview to learn more about Ben, how removing Excel from the resume can change a writer's life, character building, how teaching enhanced his passion, who he'd like to portray Norris, his upcoming work, his thoughts on the new Sabrina the Teenage Witch reboot and more--link in bio!

One of main questions Romola Hodas gets asked since the release of her new book, especially from those who know her is "How are you so normal?" Her answer is simple: "Because I want to be." Romola's memoir, Princess of 42nd Street: Surviving My Childhood as the Daughter of Times Square's King of Porn is a revealing, heartfelt, inspiring account. Her father, Marty Hodas, was a big part of the creation of Times Square in the early 70's, as depicted on the HBO series, The Deuce. Hodas' journey is compelling that readers will be quick to think that she should have a show of her own. She agrees and is working towards getting a spin-off. She also has a business she is passionate about, which aims to help problem drinkers. We talk starting a business at 61, what she thinks can be done to cease child abuse and more--check it out! https://youtu.be/IAg0JHbncYw

"Every time a book comes out it feels like a great accomplishment. You work so hard on every book and regardless of how they perform, when you get to that publication date, it's so exciting to realize that it actually worked out and this kind of book exists and you made it happen." This quote is from our interview with Courtney Young, a really great executive editor at Riverhead Books. The first books in the photos you see are some of the very successful books she's worked on (some of your favorites) followed by the books she has coming soon (David Epstein, Gretchen McCulloch, and Brian Switek) and the last book you see is the one Courtney's father gifted her to show he supported her transitioning from engineering studies to English studies. Check out the interview, we also discuss manuscripts and what makes a solid editorial team!
