Four Questions For: Melissa Walker, YA Author
Sometime subject and full-time friend of FBNY Melissa Walker got herself into a neat piece in this weekend's installment of T no mean feat since her latest novel Violet By Design's been on shelves for six weeks, inspiring some to argue her promotional moment has passed. She does a nice job on her personal blog in a section she dubs "Marketing Monday" describing how the weekend's piece came about, so in our new "Four Questions For..." feature, we got her to tell us the stuff the NYT piece left us wanting to know more about. 1) In her T story of this weekend on your and another writer's fashion-themed YA books, writer Holly Brubach expresses concern for your model-protagonist's "bone density," among other things. How is the real-life raciness of a young model's existence that you depict in the book being received by teen girl readers and their parents? 2) Did your publisher have any reservations about referencing cocaine abuse and eating disorders in a book meant for high school girls? If so, how'd you make the case that it should stay in? 3) Book two, Violet by Design is out now -- what's different about releasing your second book, versus your first? 4) How was writing book three? Did it get any easier with two under your belt? Email This Post |
