And it took a while to figure how to do this (I thought I would be working as a copywriter or journalist or something) but I’m so glad I found my way to being a YA author. When I finished and uni and was working for the first time, it really became more apparent that writing was what I wanted to ‘do’ and how I wanted to carve out my purpose. Since I was a young teenager, I’ve always kept a journal and written stuff down, just observations, musings and overly dramatic teen emotions. Heartwarming, magical, a bit overwhelming! XD 3. The Surprising Power of a Good Dumpling isn’t your first novel but does it feel different? Can you describe in 5 words how it feels to have this book be published and out into the wild?

It’s been a doozy but really really wonderful to have everyone’s enthusiasm and support. Hi! How are you? I’m sure you must have had a hectic schedule with the release of this beautiful pink book. Here it is! Author Interview: A Chat with Wai Chimġ. I related so much to this novel and it was a pleasure to get to pick Wai’s brain a little about it and about her general author life. I am SO excited to be bringing you guys an interview/chat I had with Wai Chim, the author of one of my newest favourite YA contemporaries The Surprising Power of a Good Dumpling (See my 5-star review HERE).
