Hugonauts: The Best Sci-Fi Books of All Time

Interview with Becky Chambers - author of The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet!

Episode Summary

Becky Chambers is the multiple-Hugo award winning author of The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet; A Closed and Common Orbit; A Psalm for the Wild-Built, and many more!

Episode Notes

All of Becky's writing is excellent, but if you haven't read The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet  it's a great place to start. It's a wonderful, warm, and character-driven space opera that follows the tight-knit crew of a wormhole-drilling starship working their way across the galaxy. 

We talked with Becky about:

• Growing up in a 'space' family
• Going from self-publishing to winning a Hugo 
• Her process for creating her wonderful characters 
• Using the search for identity as central conflict 
• Becky's biggest influences
