An Interview with Victoria Schwab
I’ve been following the career of author Victoria Schwab for some time. I was tipped off to her awesomeness by her friend and fellow YA author, Rachel Hawkins, and have no regrets that I immediately began following (author stalking) her on Twitter. Victoria generously shares the experiences of her life as a (frighteningly successful) young author on Twitter, on her blog, and through her YouTube channel. I was excited when she announced her upcoming blog tour for The Unbound (read my review here) and advocated for TLT to be one of her stops. Luckily, I was successful. Read on to find Victoria’s good humored answers to my somewhat ‘author-stalkerish’ questions.
I’m excited, because I’ve always wanted to write a prep school, and in THE UNBOUND I finally get to. I myself went to a prep school, but it was an all-girls uniformed prep school in the south, so it was even more intense than Mackenzie’s co-ed one. I definitely pulled on some personal experience though, when it came to shaping Hyde School, from the grounds to the privilege and private school culture.
