A Multi-POV Fantasy Death Tournament with Amanda Foody & Christine Lynn Herman - All of Us Villains

Marissa chats with writing duo Amanda Foody and Christine Lynn Herman about their young adult fantasy - ALL OF US VILLAINS - as well as using archetypes to guide your decisions when building a large cast of characters, then adding layers through personality details; developing a complex magic system and determining when and how to break your own magic rules; being intentional with your setting details and descriptions in order to evoke a certain mood; and lots of insight into the co-writing process, from things to consider when entering into a writing partnership (think: communication, trust, and a shared vision for the project), as well as some potential challenges (like technology hiccups and - gulp! - having to share your unpolished work with someone else).
