Megan Whitmer, YA author and host of the Witches Magic Murder & Mystery podcast is here to talk about formulaic tropes and predictability within certain genres.

Lily and Marshall's wedding day is here, and true to sitcom form, everything goes wrong! And then the couple decides to get married in secret before the big ceremony, and the sweet intimate moment overshadows the "real" wedding. 

Megan sold a portal fantasy when most of publishing said portal fantasies were dead, and she shares some of her tips for making old tropes feel fresh and playing with your audience's expectations when the formula is well-known already.
