A New Episode of the Narrative Breakdown & My NYPL Panel on Native American YA Literature

Guess what? Those two things in my subject line are one and the same thing! We have a new episode of the Narrative Breakdown up, which also happens to be a recording of a panel I mentioned many moons ago:   me, fellow editor and publisher Stacy Whitman, and our authors Eric Gansworth and Joseph Bruchac, respectively, discussing their books If I Ever Get Out of Here and Killer of Enemies, respectively. It was a really great, meaty, interesting conversation (IMO) about how Stacy and I came to edit these books, editor-author relationships in general, writing YA, privilege, and cross-cultural publishing. And now you can see a writeup of it from Publishers Weekly at this link, and listen to the full recording here. Thanks for checking it out!

  2. I really like this post! Good share. My two favorites were:
    "Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang except the best." -- Henry van Dyke

    and

    "The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it." -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

    But they were all good insights to reflect on!
