Atmosphere—Taylor Jenkins Reid and Julia Whelan
New York Times number one bestselling author Taylor Jenkins Reid joins beloved audiobook narrator Julia Whelan for a discussion about Reid’s writing life, from her creative process and the inspiration for her complex female characters to what she’s working on next. Reid is the author of nine bestselling novels, including Daisy Jones & the Six and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Reid is among the most popular writers publishing today, selling over 21 million books across print, e-book and audiobook formats. After writing five bestselling novels about women reaching astronomical heights of fame, it seems only natural that Reid would turn to the stars—literally—for her next work. Reid’s latest novel, Atmosphere, is set against the backdrop of the 1980s Space Shuttle program and highlights her distinctive approach to crafting compelling female protagonists across different eras and settings.
