Скачать или смотреть The remarkable story behind Mel Torrefranca's book Nightshade Academy

I got to talk with ‪@MelTorrefranca‬ about her upcoming novel Nightshade Academy. She shares 5 key lessons learned in the writing process, and the story of writing Nightshade Academy—including how she trained in martial arts, lived with monks, and produced an audio drama in the process of creating the book.

Watch our other video, about our shared experience unpublishing books we wrote as kids, on Mel's channel:    • We wrote bad books. So what?
