We're happy to have Anna-Marie McLemore stop by to talk about her latest novel, WILD BEAUTY.Anna-Marie, what was your inspiration for writing WILD BEAUTY?
WILD BEAUTY is my book about queer Latina girls and enchanted, murderous gardens. It grew from my love of flowers and my obsession with the sometimes-frightening magic that fills fairy tales.
What's your writing ritual like? Do you listen to music? Work at home or at a coffee shop or the library, etc?
I love hearing about other writers’ routines, partially because I don’t have much of a set writing routine of my own. But it usually does involve reading books that inspire me, whatever song I’m really into at the moment, and a lot of tea and fizzy water.
What are you working on now?
Right now I’m working on my fall 2018 book, BLANCA & ROJA. I’m not sharing too much about it quite yet, but I can tell you it’s a Latinx reimagining of Snow-White & Rose-Red meets Swan Lake.
