Atwood, speaking to Appnewser, also reminded her audience that Wattpad is hosting her own unconventional collaboration "The Happy Zombie Sunrise Home," co-authored by Naomi Alderman of narrative fitness
app Zombies, Run!.
The story follows two characters: New York teenager Okie, whose Dad was eaten by her zombie Mum, and Clio, her grandmother, who is trying to turn her Toronto home into a safehouse while coaching Okie through the desperate journey north.
"One of us will write a chapter for our character and send it to the other one, and the other would have to write their way out of it," Atwood explained.
