Dancing into YA Romance with Jasmine Guilory

Hello Protagonists!

Welcome to another episode of the Creative, Inspired, ALIVE podcast—where we go behind the scenes with the storytellers shaping our culture.

Our guest today is Jasmine Guillory, a bestselling author of nine adult romance novels, including the Reese’s Book Club pick, The Proposal. This fall, she is trying something new, making her young adult debut with a Dirty Dancing-inspired story about a young girl finding her way back to dance and to love. Her latest book, It’s Only Dancing, is out now.

Together, we talk about:

* dancing on the page,

* YA novels for a YA audience,

* earning the happily ever after,

* rediscovering your joy, and so much more!
