NW Book Talk – Deb Cushman – 2-18-2025

👉 In This Interview

Deb Cushman is a middle grade fantasy author and creator of the Chronicles of Nadavir series, known for her richly imagined worlds and strong young heroes.

In this conversation, Deb shares her fast-writing, careful-revising process, explaining how a manuscript may take two months to draft but up to two years to fully develop. She discusses the value of mastermind groups, beta readers, and writing communities in shaping her books. We also explore her Norse mythology influences, including the World Tree Yggdrasil featured in her upcoming third book.

Deb will be one of the creators featured at the Northwest Book Fair & Media Fest, where readers can meet her in person and learn more about her fantasy series.
