Jerry Spinelli @ Chautauqua/Highlights

Amazing Authors, Illustrators, & Editors

This summer I was lucky enough to meet Eileen and Jerry Spinelli, as well as Candace Fleming. I also had the incredible opportunity of working on my novel in progress with Patricia Lee Gauch.

In the past I've spoken with Katherine Paterson and Bruce Coville, and heard Brian Selznick and Susan Cooper speak about their process and work.

What's the common thread?

All of these people have been approachable, easy to talk to, and enthusiastic about their work.

It's nice to see that the pleasure you get from creative work is a pleasure that continues as your career progresses.

Happy Writing!
