As I venture into the world of writing young adult books, I think it’s good to get perspective on young adult authors as both writers and people.
Sometimes I wonder what their favorite cereals are or if they cry at the opera. And sometimes I wonder where they got the confidence to start querying agents, or if those funny things in their books reeeeeally happened. So I started asking.
Here are some of my chats with young adult authors, middle grade authors, and authors of all sorts as they go along their writing and publishing journeys and throughout their lives.
