Episode Summary

This week on Storymix: Craft and Conversation Season 2, Jasmine Richards talks with Angelica Ellis, who writes as A.M. Ellis, about I Feel Your Pain, the brand new YA dystopian romance published by Penguin.

At the centre of the novel is a big idea: what if pain could be taken from one person and transferred into somebody else? Together, Jasmine and Angelica explore dystopian romance, Black girls and the politics of pain, who gets to imagine different futures, and how publishing can limit or expand what Black writers are allowed to write.

Angelica’s book, I Feel Your Pain, is out now in the UK. Listen, share and get into the conversation!
