Summary
In this episode of Page to Picture , Kim sits down with YA dystopian author Katelyn Pfeiffer to talk about her journey from writing poetry in grade school to creating her sci-fi series, The Provenance Chronicles . What started as a vivid, full-sensory dream turned into a full-blown book series, and she gets real about the ups and downs of publishing, including dealing with a not-so-great publisher situation before finding her footing. They get into the nitty-gritty of dystopian world-building (aka: it’s way harder than it looks), how she develops morally complex characters, and why she leans into themes of love, redemption, and faith. Katelyn also talks about writing “spice-free” stories that focus more on emotional depth than shock value. She wraps things up by teasing what’s next...book three (hopefully by Christmas), plus a novella and a standalone fantasy project on the way.
