Stephanie Cooke is the co-author of Oh My Gods!, a middle grade graphic novel series. Oh My Gods! was her debut novel, but she has been writing, particularly for graphic novels, for quite some time now.
In this episode of The Kidlit Chronicles, we sit down (virtually) with Stephanie and discuss the Oh My Gods! book series, with special emphasis on the first book. We talk about the trend of retelling stories from Greek mythology, the tragedy of Medusa's portrayal in media, and a kid named Wesley's love for the character Jeff, among other topics!
We're so grateful for this chance to sit down and talk about Oh My Gods! with Stephanie, and we hope you'll check out her work if you enjoyed our discussion!
