Ecstatic to share my full conversation with longtime fave S.K. Ali, who I first interviewed in 2017 and whose recent break into the fantasy genre has been predictably triumphant with FLEDGLING, a stunning first book in a searing duology that ended this month with GOLDEN FLIGHT!
Some topics of discussion: how to incorporate backstory and flashback, how to select point of view, the nuances of using technology, the early song that didn’t make it into the final version, Canadian attitudes toward the United States, & Sajidah’s wildest author wish!
Also, a “spoilers” section at the very end!
GOLDEN FLIGHT is available now and can be ordered here.
