Summoning V. E. Schwab: a cup of black tea, a freshly rolled joint, a pair of running shoes, and a jigsaw puzzle
Update: 2025-05-28
Description
Plot twist—I’m the guest this week.
And there’s no one I’d rather hand the reins to than my BFF (and producer of this podcast), Jenna. We get into the details of my writing process—from early research to finding the right title—and talk about the kinds of fantasy I’m drawn to, and why. We explore how setting functions as a character in my stories, the balance between realism and the fantastical, and the logic behind how my worlds work.
Also, yes, we talk about mermaids. Because the ocean is still mostly unexplored, and hope is a powerful thing.
