Bestselling author Delilah S. Dawson on writing for IP projects and how she writes so quickly

Delilah S. Dawson is the New York Times bestselling writer of Star Wars: Phasma, Galaxy’s Edge: Black Spire, Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade, The Secrets of Long Snoot, The Perfect Weapon, and Scorched; Disney Mirrorverse: Pure of Heart, It Will Only Hurt for a Moment, Guillotine, Midnight at the Houdini, Bloom, Mine, The Violence, the Blud series, Servants of the Storm, the HIT series, Wake of Vultures and the Shadow series (as Lila Bowen), and a variety of short stories in anthologies such as Death & Honey, Robots vs. Fairies, Hellboy: an Assortment of Horrors, Violent Ends, Carniepunk, Three Slices, and Last Night a Superhero Saved My Life.

We had a great chat with Delilah, hearing about how she is so prolific, and what it is really like writing for IP projects like Star Wars (spoiler - Disney trips are a bonus!) We also walk about how structure helps her plan her stories, and she explains why letting go of the idea of writing a perfect book has helped her.
