When I asked Amy what she wanted to talk about, she said: REVISION IS THE SPORT. Just like that. In all caps. And, well, I’ve learned I have the best time when I just do whatever Amy wants. If you missed her previous chats with me, check out “Distilling the Emotional Tour” as part of her Switch book tour, and her contribution to last year’s NaNoWriMo IG Live chats, all about the note-taking methods she uses to draft.

A.S. King writes novels, shorts, poems, creative nonfiction, and creative excuse notes for the local high school. She has won some awards, but not for the excuse notes. Check out Dig, winner of the 2020 Michael L. Printz Award, and Switch, her 2021 title. When she's not writing, she's teaching, speaking, editing, or raising her epic kid. Find more at www.as-king.com.
