S4: Episode 12 - The Arena Pt 2 - YA vs. Adult
Deadline City's Podcast
06/02/21 • 45 min
YA versus Adult! We get these questions quite a bit. Why write YA? Why write adult? What is the difference? Zoraida is making the move to adult in September 2021, and Dhonielle is so close to finishing her first adult novel. But why the change? And how was the process different than when they wrote Labyrinth Lost or The Belles? How would those books look like if they had written them with an older audience in mind?

Welcome to the season finale of Deadline City. We're headed to the Commercial Tower! In this episode, we're going to talk about literary vs. commercial fiction. We break down some of our favorite books and turn them into log lines. Is the book commercial or is it the pitch? What is the science of an alluring pitch? How does publishing pigeonhole us? Most importantly, do any of these things matter in the grand scheme of things as long as we're writing amazing books? All of this and more in our final episode of the season. See you in season 3!

S2: Episode 10 - Destination: Author Salon w/ Nic Stone
Deadline City's Podcast
04/15/20 • 75 min
This week on Deadline City we have Clean Getaway author, Nic Stone joining the Author Salon! Nic Stone writes in multiple genres and age groups and we pick her brain about how she keeps track of everything. We all have so many stories to tell, but how do you decide a particular story is "the one"? What is Nic's method? How do you figure out who the protagonist is, or what age groups your audience is? All of these things come into play, as well as our usual writer shenanigans.

Episode 1 - Destination: Why YA Town?
Deadline City's Podcast
10/02/19 • 40 min
Throughout our careers, we've had people ask us why we write YA and the dreaded "when are you going to write a real book?" This happens A LOT. Join us for a chat about our journeys as YA authors, answering why the hell we're in YA Town and where YA might be going. How do we stay fresh and not let ourselves become "aunties"? How do we keep up with trends? Is it time to pick up our things and find another city to be part of when things are uncertain? There is a lot of think about and we have an honest chat about our feelings.
