Dreams & Dystopia: Author Katelyn Pfeiffer

In this episode of Page to Picture, Kim sits down with YA dystopian author Katelyn Pfeiffer to talk about her journey from writing poetry in grade school to creating her sci-fi series, The Provenance Chronicles. What started as a vivid, full-sensory dream turned into a full-blown book series, and she gets real about the ups and downs of publishing, including dealing with a not-so-great publisher situation before finding her footing.They get into the nitty-gritty of dystopian world-building (aka: it’s way harder than it looks), how she develops morally complex characters, and why she leans into themes of love, redemption, and faith. Katelyn also talks about writing “spice-free” stories that focus more on emotional depth than shock value.She wraps things up by teasing what’s next...book three (hopefully by Christmas), plus a novella and a standalone fantasy project on the way.FOLLOW KATELYN BELOW:IG: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/provenancechronicles/⁠GOODREADS: ⁠https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/52496223.Katelyn_E_Pfeiffer⁠WEBSITE: ⁠https://katelynepfeiffer.wixsite.com/provenancechronicles
