Today I’m talking with Liza Palmer about the re-release of her first book, Conversations with the Fat Girl, and her newest novel, The Nobodies. We talk about writing, 4am anxiety, and writing Carol Danvers for the YA novels – and reading the script for the movie early (OMG). Our conversation and her new book, The Nobodies, is a little bit about being uncomfortable and learning new skills: if you’re doing it right, as you level … Continue reading 368.

This week, Sarah interviews Liza Palmer took a few minutes out of her day at BuzzFeed to talk to me about writing fiction, writing scripts, romantic comedies, writing for Pop-Up Video, and more.
So much of the trade-sized books marketed towards us women deal with fellow women doing what I call “playing the FU Card.” Playing the FU card describes the moment when a woman seizes her own life with 9 fingers, lifting that all important middle finger on her dominant hand to whatever, or whomever, has been telling her she ought to do otherwise than embrace her own (dare I say it) potential. Commence sucking of marrow, … Continue reading Seeing Me Naked by Liza Palmer →
“Liza Palmer’s voice is fresh, exciting, and necessary. She’s a must-read author.” –Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of Daisy Jones & the Six If there’s one thing Joan Dixon knows about herself, it’s that she is a damn good journalist.

Closer to 40 than 30, single, living with her parents … Continue reading The Nobodies →

Be warned that this post is hazardous on your book budget, so careful with the one-clicking! Amanda: I’m not actively reading anything right now because I’ve been in a weird slump, staring listlessly at my TBR pile. However, I’ve picked out two books that … Continue reading Whatcha Reading?

Liza Palmer is a spiffy writer- though I didn't like the heroine of her 2008 book “Seeing Me Naked,” I remember the writing well. Her book More Like Her is $1.99. (Yeah, I totally bought it. These deals are as dangerous for me as they are for you, I promise). What really goes on behind those perfect white picket fences? In Frances’s mind, beautiful, successful, ecstatically married Emma Dunham is the height of female perfection. … Continue reading Books on Sale: Contemporary Romance And Romance-Like Books - Plus Cake Pops! →
