Brandon Mull – Write on the World

This is the first Wannabe Writer interview in what I hope will be a regular feature here at Write on the World.

A lifelong avid reader of fantastical fiction, Amy Burney has a Bachelor of Integrative Studies. In college, Amy took language arts courses to understand what makes a good young adult novel, and reviewed many literary works for their merit in classrooms. Amy is writing a young adult fantasy novel to contribute to the field of young adult fantasy, and to share her main character’s story with the world. She grew up in the Harry Potter generation.

The main character is a high school girl who’s curious about mysterious occurrences happening in her everyday life. That leads her to discovering a new world, including new creatures and characters.

A: I’m a freelance writer for some online companies.
