Here's the advice that 'The Hate U Give' author would give her younger self via CNBCMakeIt
When it comes to the world of Young Adult literature, author Angie Thomas has made a name for herself. Two novels in and both have been picked up to be adapted on-screen, with her debut novel,"The Hate U Give", becoming a hit on the New York Times' best-seller list and in theaters.
"So, I would tell myself to stop worrying about what other people think. I would tell myself that what other people think of you, is not your business," Thomas explained during the Q&A session of the"Angie Thomas: On the Come Up" talk. Thomas' first book,"The Hate U Give" has been a major success, having received over 280,000 ratings on Goodreads — with an average rating of 4.54 stars out of 5 — as of this article's publication. In fact, even before it was in the hands of readers around the world, Thomas' debut attracted over a dozen publishing-houses to place bids for the book's rights in an auction.
