Podcast #11: Personal Agency in Fiction with Author Mindi Scott
We're super-excited to have a two-part episode of the podcast with our friend and a favorite author, Mindi Scott. Mindi is the author of two outstanding books for teens, Freefall (2010, Simon Pulse) and Live Through This (2012, Simon Pulse).
Mindi's novels are "quieter" stories focussing on characters taking control of their own lives--stories of personal agency. We thought it would be great to have her talk about this theme in the context of not only her own books, but those she recommends as well. Mindi brought up some fascinating concepts related to how these types of stories are constructed, so we hope you enjoy!
This is a two-part episode, so check back for the second half soon--we decided it would be a little brutal to subject y'all to nearly 2 and a half hours of our chatter.

Books Discussed
