Also discussed: the origins and impact of the We Need Diverse Books organization, how there\\u2019s been much progress in creating more representation and diverse books but there\\u2019s always more work to be done, what it means to write the book of your heart, using fantasy to give distance and perspective on real world issues, how things can happen that you have no control over, but that you do have control over the books you write, and so much more!
