So a little more about me, @stephanmlee … I'm Korean American, from Atlanta, GA, always knew I was queer but didn't come out til senior year of HS, ha. Also always knew I wanted to be a writer; I came out as a writer in 1st grade.

#YAAuthorTakeover: My first job out of college was as a staff writer for @EW! Total dream job. Interviewed tons of authors, celebs, and wrote lots of reviews. Read books & watched movies and TV for a living. What could be better?

#YAAuthorTakeover @stephanmlee : First celeb I interviewed: @mindykaling for EW about her first book! It was the best. I still count her as one of my very fav interviews ever. She was so gracious and relatable and gave a 24-y/o editorial assistant so much of her time.

#YAAuthorTakover @stephanmlee : Some writing advice … don't be in such a rush to finish your first book! Writing without an audience yet is actually a golden time that you'll wish to get back one day. Give yourself room to make mistakes, get better, and experiment.
