#34: Everything You Didn’t Know About the Finding Her Edge Adaptation

This week on Off The Shelf, Morgann sits down with Jennifer Iacopelli, the author of Finding Her Edge, about how the book began, how her life as a school librarian shaped her writing, and the spark that led to its sports romance world. Jennifer shares the inspiration behind the story, the challenges she faced along the way, and how the book eventually became a Netflix adaptation. She also takes us behind the scenes of casting, set visits, and the moments she was most excited to see on screen.CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Introduction1:40 - Jennifer’s Childhood3:35 - Working as a Librarian 9:30 - How Jennifer Got Into Writing Her First Book12:40 - Why Jennifer Wrote About Sports18:35 - Setbacks and Rejections20:20 - Finding Her Edge27:55 - The Adaptation47:10 - Game, Set, Match49:35 - Difference Between YA, New Adult, YA Plus54:15 - What’s NextFOLLOW US:Morgann BookTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@morgannbook?lang=en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/morgannbook/?hl=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MorgannBook Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/morgannbook Jennifer IacopelliTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jennifercarolyn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jennifercarolyn Find her books at Indigo: https://www.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/jennifer-iacopelli/ Find her book at Barnes and Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/%22Jennifer%20Iacopelli%22?Ntk=P_key_Contributor_List&Ns=P_Sales_Rank&Ntx=mode+matchall Off The ShelfInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/offtheshelf.podcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@offtheshelf.podcast?lang=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Off.TheShelfPodcastHosted by: Morgann BookCreated by: Bookish Media, Morgann Book, and Thomas Johnston Executive Producers: Morgann Book & Thomas Johnston Produced by: Stefanie MacchiusiAssociate Post Producer and Editor: Ricki Biramontes Hosted on Acast.
