Show Notes

This week, we’re joined by Molly Horan, author of the delightful novel Epically Earnest, which is available now from Harper Collins. She is a professor at New York University, where her course offerings include Reading and Writing LGBT YA Fiction: From Annie On My Mind to They Both Die at the End. She’s also edited and written for publications like BuzzFeed, Refinery29, and Bust, and she holds an MFA in writing for children and young adults from the New School. And she co-wrote a stage adaptation of Little Women for Brooklyn's Hedgepig Ensemble in 2019, which makes her very qualified to speak on this bleak chapter, wherein Beth gets sick, Jo gets drunk, and Laurie gets romantically rejected for the first time -- but not the last. You can visit Molly on Twitter at @molly_horan.
