128. CASSANDRA NEWBOULD: Dystopian novels, disability representation, and dealing with disappointments

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2316897/fan_mail/new] This week on LiteraryHype Podcast, author Cassandra Newbould joins me to talk about her YA dystopian novel, Climate of Chaos. This book follows a teenager with disabilities as she tries to save her sister and steal medical supplies from the government. It's a story Cassandra believes is more relatable than you might realize. We're talking all about why dystopian books are having a moment right now, the push for more disability representation on the page, and dealing with the disappointments that come in the publising industry, plus hints about her upcoming horror works.
