MYA ROBARTS: I am a bookaholic and regret nothing.
I am convinced the New Adult genre has more to offer than just College Romance. The possibilities are endless and I am more than willing to explore them all. I'll quote Mario Vargas Llosa on this.
“The writer’s job is to write with rigor, with commitment, to defend what they believe with all the talent they have. I think that’s part of the moral obligation of a writer, which cannot be only purely artistic. I think a writer has some kind of responsibility at least to participate in the civic debate. I think literature is impoverished, if it becomes cut from the main agenda of people, of society, of life.”
