We join famed fantasy and science fiction writer Ursula K. Le Guin in her home to talk about the Earthsea series and all things Earthsea, including her initial hesitation to write YA novels.

After considering writing YA fantasy books, Ursula K. Le Guin realized how rabid and invested readers of YA novels truly are, and how all she needed to start was a young protagonist. As she describes, she had already written in the YA Novels format with short stories similar in concept to "A Wizard of Earthsea", and all that was missing was a full map of the Earthsea World (which she has since used for all six books). The interview goes on to reference conversations Ursuala had with fans who at a young age read her works like "A Wizard of Earthsea", and expressed the help it offered them, connecting with her characters.
