Summoning Veronica Roth: A bag of Baked Lays and a Negroni

What comes after the end of the world? This week, I sit down with Veronica Roth, the bestselling author of Divergent and Poster Girl, for a conversation full of laughter, layered craft talk, and a few surprises. We dig into her love of outlining (yes, multiple outlines!), how she lets story lead the way—without starting from plot or character—and why she believes bold choices make for better writing than careful ones.Oh—and she spills just enough about a wild (and very exciting) deal she made with her publisher about some future works. Curious yet?
