I wanted to write a character who launches her own version of the movement from inside the industry. And of course, the #BuryYourGays movement inspired much of this book. Spoiler warning for anyone who hasn’t seen Supernatural, but Charlie’s death is what really set this story into motion for me. I tend to channel a lot of my anger into my writing, and at the time I was working on Going Off Script, I was pissed about how many queer characters were being killed off on popular television shows. It definitely had some strong inspiration. This feels like a book that had some strong inspiration can you talk a little about that? Please welcome Jen Wilde!įirst things first, let’s talk about your newest book! Going Off Script is your freaking adorable and super-current upcoming release about a lesbian named Bex who’s still kind of in her coming out process as she joins a writer’s room and has her work not just stolen by straightwashed. She’s always a reliable summer read with heaping doses of warmth and queerness, and this year is no exception! She’s here to share a little more about her upcoming book, publishing f/f, and the golden age of television. With her third book on the horizon ( Going Off Script releases May 22nd!), Jen Wilde has quickly become one of my favorite YA authors to read and recommend.
