Please put your digital hands together for kidlit author-illustrator Jenny Alvarado! Her two debut genres came out within the last 10 days and I’m sure she’s in debut overload at the moment. Fortunately, we recorded this months ago! I hope you enjoy hearing our conversation about craft, art, story, inspiration, and alternate timelines.🎧💃
Some Highlights:
Writing with friends in grade school – inspiring each other.✏️
How the writing community can be a great place to connect IRL when working from home.
Sneaking a note to your past self, only without the domino effect on the future.
Capturing ideas before they disappear.
Never being too old to learn.
