Episode 97's guest is author Elle Gonzalez Rose.
Elle Gonzalez Rose is an author from New York who’s better at writing love stories about short, queer, Latines than she is at writing bios. Her dog thinks she’s okay. She is the author of Caught in a Bad Fauxmance, 10 Things I Hate About Prom, The Girl You Know, and Marisol Acts the Part. Elle, not the dog.
In this episode Elle and I discussed Marisol Acts the Part, her most recent YA romcom. With that, we talked about how she challenged herself while writing this book. We touched on her career writing for film/tv, the parasocial relationships between film and TV actors and fans, and writing thriller alongside romance.
