    I really enjoyed the interview with Jennifer Iacopelli. And I can’t wait to read her books. My daughter just quit competitive gymnastics and when I heard that she wrote a book on gymnastics, I asked if she would read it and she is excited to read it. And she is 15 years old. She has watched Finding Her Edge.

    Thank you for this interview and helping me discover more new books

#38: How Ray Porter Created the Voices of Project Hail Mary
Q: What's your philosophy on creating multiple character voices and maintaining consistency across a long book?
Treat each character as having a unique voice within the book's overall voice, avoid overthinking accents, and focus on letting the character's lines express who they are; this organic method helps maintain authenticity across hours of narration.

Q: How did you land the role and approach the audition process for Project Hail Mary?
The process was unconventional but engaging; after being approached with the title by the publisher, I embraced the project, found joy in reading it, and learned to rely on a more instinctive, record-first approach rather than over-preparing.
