Ep 1431: Jennie Wood

•
I'm thrilled to welcome back to the show, JENNIE WOOD, the author of the graphic novel series FLUTTER and the YA novel A BOY LIKE ME. One of the best things you'll find in Jennie as a guest speaker and writing mentor is that she will always discuss the positive impact of comics and literature before opening any controversies. She focuses on how comics like Ariel Schrag’s POTENTIAL changed her life. I opened the door to discuss #GamerGate and other misogynistic arguments that have hit pop culture recently.
