From Screenplays to Novels

Author Lyvia Martinez on Episode 01 of The Deep List

We’re starting off The Deep List by talking to Lyvia Martinez about her debut, OUR LAST FALL, which is out by Bywater Books on 8th September this year.

Amrita’ Notes: I fell in love with Our Last Fall’s premise when I read the publisher’s blurb. Lyvia touches upon how she tried to hit a balance between grief, heartbreak, fun, adventure and growing pains in this coming-of-age tale and the struggles of writing an ensemble cast. She also talks of her background in screenwriting and how it helped her adapt to writing a novel, and how her history of growing up in a religious family and how she reckoned with her identity will be the subject of her next book.
