What happens when a major publisher tells you your YA fantasy needs more spice, and you say no?
This week, Sarah Ruth Hickner and Tiffany Noelle Chacon are joined by international bestselling YA fantasy author Cassandra James to talk about faith, traditional publishing, and having the courage to stick to your convictions. Cass shares the incredible story of walking away from a potential publishing opportunity rather than adding sexual content to her book, and what came after.
Plus, Cass shares recommendations for parents looking for safer YA books for their teens.
