Writer Tenacity and Celebrating Every Accomplishment with Leah Johnson - You Should See Me in a Crown
Marissa chats with Leah Johnson about her debut contemporary romance - YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN (the inaugural Reese's Book Club YA pick) - as well as extraordinary prom traditions, the under-representation of queer Black girls in YA fiction and the responsibility Leah felt in writing for a relatively empty marketplace, the important role of tenacity when so much of the publishing journey is reliant on chance, and why every single accomplishment deserves to be celebrated.Books discussed in this episode can be purchased from your local independent bookstore or buy them online from the Happy Writer bookshop.org store (that benefits indie bookstores) at https://bookshop.org/shop/marissameyerFind out more and follow The Happy Writer on social media: https://www.marissameyer.com/podcast/
