Finding the Throughline with Kate Hanley
Education:Self-Improvement
This week I am talking with journalist and novelist Haley Krischer. Haley's journalism has won awards and appeared in the New York Times, the New York Times Magazine, the Atlantic, and Elle, among other places. She has profiled celebrities like Tatum O'Neill and Celine Dion and Gabrielle Union, and she's reported on trends through a feminist lens. Haley's first two novels were for young adults: “Something Happened to Allie Greenleaf” and “The Falling Girls.” This summer, her first adult novel is coming out: “Where Are You, Echo Blue?” It's about a journalist's obsessive search for a missing Hollywood starlet. And I for one am so looking forward to packing that on my summer vacation.
We covered:
Which former child actor/celebrities Hayley obsessively researched for her upcoming book, “Where Are You, Echo Blue?”
How she found herself working at the Boston Globe in college and found all the journalists “these grimy, sexy, fascinating people”
The brilliant wisdom she tells her kids about power of just keeping going.
The circular editorial career that led her to being an author
The “pure insanity” that keeps her coming back to the page
The writing program Hayley signed up for that took the story she’d been working on for 20 years and could never sell and helped her revise it into a form that sold to a major publisher in four days (her first YA novel, “Something Happened to Ali Greenleaf”
The exact mechanical pencil she used to write her upcoming YA novel that’s coming out in 2025
The author that inspired Hayley to write a novel in longhand
Why you should never trust yourself to remember that great idea and the myriad ways Hayley captures those ideas, wherever they may happen
