This month, we're joined by writer and friend of ARTWIFE LaLa Thomas. LaLa is our first YA writer on the pod(!) and in this episode, you can hear us chat about MFA programs, the state of reading among young people, and Unexpected, LaLa’s first novel and the perfect story to share with any young person (or adult!) in your life.
