'All the Stars and Teeth' by Adalyn Grace Is Your Latest Must-Read
It all started with my main character, Amora. I wanted to create a character who was a bit morally grey, and who was very unapologetic for what she wanted. I wanted to create this in a female character because I feel that in media, like in movies in books, male-identifying characters get away with so much more than female characters do...and that’s not even considering non-binary characters.
When it comes to approaching those themes, it all depends on the extent of the conversation and how deeply you delve into it. If this were an adult book, it might be a little more graphic, there might be more specific politics involved. I think with Y.A. you have to be mindful that you’re presenting something to a younger audience. You do need to say something—you can’t just put on paper"oh all these characters are dying" and think that's fine.
The world is in turmoil. I don’t think that there’s a writer that I know who is fully able to switch that off.I started writing when I was 10 or 11. Really embarrassingly, I used to write on the website NeoPets that used to be super popular in the '90s and early 2000s. I lived in the same town as Stephanie Meyers, so whencame out, I went to one of her first book signings and realized writing could be an actual job.
