The Idea of Writing the Book That Doesn’t Exist

The Shit No One Tells You About Writing

In today's Books with Hooks, we’re throwing it back to an early backlist segment.

After which, CeCe interviews Claire Jiménez, assistant professor and author of What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez. They discuss the three pivotal moments in Claire's writing career; Claire's experience writing a multitude of POVs; how she went about developing her characters; how publishing is like a nightclub; what surprised Claire about the publishing world; Claire's advice to emerging writers; and the idea of writing the book that doesn't exist.
