Summary
Zibby Books author alert!! Zibby speaks to author and illustrator Swan Huntley about I WANT YOU MORE, a sexy, atmospheric, and deliciously tense novel about a ghostwriting gig in the Hamptons that becomes far more than a job. Swan reveals her connections to her novel’s plot and then delves into her pragmatic creative process and journey to becoming a novelist. She also talks about her popular illustrations (some of which have gone viral on social media!) and her next project: a memoir published by Zibby Books in 2025!

| 0:31.7 | Swan Huntley is the author of I Want You More, a novel. This is one of our Zibi books, published books. I am obsessed |
| 0:38.5 | with this novel. You all have to go out right now and buy it. It is so good. It's like |
| 0:44.6 | single white female meets The War of the Roses, lesbian edition. Oh my gosh. It's so good. |
| 0:50.6 | Anyway, you have to check it out. I want you more. A novel. Swan and I met, by the way, |
| 0:55.8 | well, maybe I said this in the episode. I can't remember. But Swan and I met when we did a book |
| 0:59.8 | event for our last books. I was doing bookends and she was doing Getting Clean with Stevie Green. |
| 1:04.8 | And we did an event in Culver City, California, at which two people showed up, plus Kyle, |

| 1:28.3 | She is also the writer and illustrator of the journal-style mini-tombs, |
| 1:32.1 | The Bad Mood Book, which I inappropriately gave as a party favor for my son's eighth |
| 1:36.6 | birthday, but that's just how I roll. |
| 1:39.9 | And you're grounded. |
| 1:41.6 | Swan earned an MFA at Columbia University and has received fellowships from |
| 1:45.2 | McDowell and Yado, where she was the 2019 recipient of the LaSage Fully Love residency. Sorry I didn't |
