A Fantastical Anthology: Inside Ant's First Book

Ant is nine, and she's already published a book. In this episode she walks us through A Fantastical Anthology - the poems and short stories inside it, and the interactive games she built from them using Twine. She explains why she always starts with a character's personality before anything else, why counting syllables turned out to be the hardest part of the whole thing, and how a trip where she saw the Colosseum became a story called An Unlikely Friendship. In James's Great Chase, players pick a side: James the detective, or Billy the robber. Her advice to other young writers - use your own ideas, and don't be shy about your opinions.
