27. GRETCHEN SCHREIBER: Disability representation in books & working for Reese Witherspoon
07/09/24 • 38 min
This author interview is SO MUCH FUN. Like, I literally hit my head on a wall while filming because I was laughing so hard (and I left it in, for your entertainment, obviously). Gretchen Schreiber is the author of "Ellie Haycock is Totally Normal", which is a YA novel about a teenager with VACTERLs. It's a condition Gretchen knows about well because she has it too. In this conversation, we talk about disability representation, mining your own story for the sake of fiction, working for Reese Witherspoon at Hello Sunshine, and BTS, as we often do. I hope you love Gretchen as much as I do after this conversation!
