I started writing my own YA fantasy, about a portrait-painting girl who discovers her family’s link to a world where artists are considered enemies of the state. That led me to reading some of the YA that was out at the time, like Vampire Academy, Wicked Lovely, and Twilight. It was a scary thing to admit, but I coped by rereading my favorite books from childhood like L.M. After grad school, in 2007, I realized that I didn’t love theatre enough to make a career out of it. Jessica Spotswood (JS): I loved writing in high school, but got absorbed in theatre in college. Miss Print (MP): Can you tell us a bit about your path as a writer? How did you get to this point? Spotswood is here today to talk about her debut novel and answer some of my questions. The ending broke my heart a little bit and made me desperate for book two, but Born Wicked remains a favorite 2012 read and I can’t wait to see the rest of the trilogy. This stunning alternate history is filled with witches and unexpected twists and feminist ideas to boot. Jessica Spotswoods‘s debut novel Born Wicked came out earlier this year.
