Marissa chats with Liza Wiemer about her newest YA contemporary - THE ASSIGNMENT - as well as protecting yourself emotionally while conducting a lot of difficult research; choosing to include multiple perspectives in a book (and one way to handle third person vs. first person POV); how books can inspire readers to stand up in the face of injustice; and saying "yes" when opportunities come along, because you just never know where life is going to take you.

Books discussed in this episode can be purchased from your local independent bookstore or buy them online from the Happy Writer bookshop.org store (that benefits indie bookstores) at https://bookshop.org/shop/marissameyer
