Episode 16. Susannah Wise - This Fragile Earth

Season 1, Ep. 16

In this episode of Confessions of a Debut Novelist, I’m talking to to Susannah Wise whose sci-fi debut This Fragile Earth was published in 2021. I wanted to ask Susannah on the podcast, just as her paperback comes out and before her second book is published, to discuss being a debut one year on. In this episode we talk about how her world-building developed through different drafts, the ups and downs on the way to publication, and the highlights of her debut year.
