"I just don’t buy into the whole failure thing—you either succeed or you learn." – Laura Resau
Laura Resau is the author of The Alchemy of Flowers, her debut novel for adults, and eleven acclaimed books for young people. Her books have won five Colorado Book Awards and spots on “best-of” booklists from Oprah, the American Library Association, and more. Trilingual, she’s lived in Provence and Oaxaca, and studied cultural anthropology and languages. She teaches graduate creative writing at Western Colorado University.
Among other things, Laura and Carter discuss how cultural curiosity sparks imagination, naiveté when finding an agent and editor, and navigating the realms of children’s/teen fiction and adult fiction. At the end of their conversation, they make up a tense story using a line from Ali Land’s Good Me Bad Me.
