Agnieszka Mielech explains how her childhood dream and professional marketing studies led to creating the Emi series.

Anna Jankowska hosts Agnieszka Mielech, author of the Emi and the Secret Club of Supergirls book series. Mielech begins by explaining the series' origin from her teenage dreams and professional research, including studies in children's literature at the University of Warsaw. She details the recent graphic refresh of the books, emphasizing updated covers that focus on the team rather than just the main character. The series has expanded internationally, with popularity in Ukraine where 16 volumes are planned, and in Lithuania with three books released. Mielech describes the publishing journey, noting how the series was accepted by Wilga publishing house after submitting just one chapter. She compares the series to Netflix for children, linking it to broader serial trends in mass culture. The interview explores how readers have changed over 13 years, with children maturing faster due to digital influences like TikTok. Mielech discusses modernizing the books by removing outdated technology references, such as MP3 players. She highlights introducing a character with a disability based on fan feedback, reflecting societal shifts. The refresh process involved updating graphics and adding interior design elements to appeal to contemporary readers. Future plans include more European-focused travel books and volumes involving film, theater, and sports themes. Mielech confirms the series will remain focused on girls without adding male main characters. She reveals working on a new series for older girls, set to be announced next year.
