Adrienne and Elissa talk to Justine Pucella Winans (Bianca Torre Is Afraid of Everything / The Otherwoods) whose YA and MG books are both going to be published in 2023. Meanwhile, Adrienne and Elissa chat about what makes them cry (or not cry) when reading. 

Adrienne asks Elissa how release week for Hayley Aldridge Is Still Here went. Spoiler: it was great! They also discuss their writing habits.

Adrienne interviews Elissa in the few weeks before the launch of Hayley Aldridge Is Still Here (2/14, William Morrow Books). Elissa's in the guest chair! Should be fun.

How do you get your ideas for your novels? What idea do you decide to pursue? Today on Hit Send, Adrienne and Elissa talk to Brazilian kidlit author Gabriela Martins (Bad at Love just came out!) about craft. This is the last episode of the season. Have a great holiday break! See you in January.

Nicole Hackett, whose book The Perfect Ones comes out May 2023, joins Adrienne and Elissa as they discuss disappointment within publishing, and how to cope with that disappointment. It's not all gloom and doom, though!
