S5 EP234 | From Poetry to the Cosmic Mystery

of Yellow with Amy Pence

​

​

Hello My Happy People,

​​​

What happens when an award-winning poet turns her attention to long-form fiction? This week, Amy Pence joins me to discuss her debut novel, Yellow, a fascinating blend of cosmic mystery, Southern Gothic atmosphere, real-world science, and coming-of-age storytelling. Our conversation goes beyond the novel itself as we explore the research behind the story, the creative process, mentorship, and the realities of building a professional writing career.

​

Be sure to read this week's Behind the Scenes blog for additional insights from our conversation, then listen to the full interview to discover why Yellow has become one of the most intriguing books on my ever-growing to-be-read list.​
