More than pitching me, she asked me questions. What about her take on the material appealed to you? You shopped your book around before settling on “Weeds” creator Jenji Kohan. It’s just apparent the story had this currency that made it a good story to tell, and I was encouraged to try my hand at some writing. Clearly, people had this real interest in this very, very hidden world. I came home in 2005, and almost every single person I knew wanted to hear about the experience in. These characters that you maybe just get the tiny details about in the book, in a TV series they can create characters and blow out their back stories and make them so rich.Īt what point did it dawn on you there might be a book to be written about your incarceration? I think the reason that people liked the book isn’t just because of my trajectory as a protagonist but because of all these other women’s lives.
Out there talking about the book, it’s just me and my experience, and the show is so much more than that, which is why I was so thrilled to do it for television.
