In this final episode of Story of the Book Season 2, we're talking to the amazing Axie Oh, New York Times bestselling author of THE GIRL WHO FELL BENEATH THE SEA (Feiwel & Friends, 2022). We chatted to Axie about so many great topics, including her writing process, querying with a first draft, taking 8 years to publish a book, and the allure of fairy tale retellings. We loved this conversation, and we hope you do, too!
