Marissa chats with Shveta Thakrar about her debut YA fantasy - STAR DAUGHTER - as well as how revising can be a fun part of the writing process; a few different ways to inspire yourself when the muse is being quiet; how to avoid some potential pitfalls of artistic ambition; and - most important -  crafting truly magical libraries and night markets!
