In the book, Luisa has a condition that was very intriguing to read about. I basically wanted to write the book that would have resonated for me when I was a teenager grappling with death and the future and the nature of human existence and what it means to be a girl and a woman and to have big feelings that are often not easy or convenient. And I wanted to tell it from a teen girl’s point of view, for a teenage audience. I wanted to tell a story inspired by losing my father to AIDS when I was a teenager. What first inspired you to tell Luisa’s story in Light Years ? Not only does she provide great insight into the industry and the positive and negative aspects of writing, but she also has plenty of wisdom to share with the next generation of writers, seeking to write diverse and realistic teen stories.
I had the honor to ask Griffin a few questions about her writing process, the authors who have shaped her work the most, and what she has next for readers. Emily Griffin is the author of the new release Light Years, which defies genres, provides both action and heart, and gives readers a gripping narrative from authentic teen voices.
