But for me, it was a long time coming, and there was a point at which I thought I was going to quit because I was so disappointed and feeling really low about my writing. YA: My journey was one with quite a few detours and bumps along the way. It’s kind of like a superhero origin story but with a pen. The first thing I like to ask authors is about their author origin story. In the latest installment of my Author Up Close series, Yasmin shares her path to publishing, her wins and losses, and why she advises all aspiring authors to try just one more thing. But headlines only tell part of the story, and I wanted to learn more about her writer’s journey. Yasmin is a heads-down, work-hard, show-don’t-tell kind of person, and when this Deadline article announced her book deal and seven-figure TV option earlier this year, she showed the writing world she meant business. We’re not only colleagues she is a constant motivator as I go about my own writing journey. I met author, editor, and educator Yasmin Angoe through an organization for BIPOC editors.
