Librarian of the Day -- Ann Wagner

As you may (or may not) know, this week is National Library Week. In celebration of this (AND to celebrate National Poetry Month), blogger Tina Nicholas Coury has an interview of Ann Wagner, youth Librarian for the Santa Monica Public Library Main Branch.

You can read this interview at Tina's blog, Tales from the Rushmore Kid.

Is the picture book dead?

Ha!
Here's an interview with an editor who doesn't believe the picture book format(in this case, the picture book biography)as a physical format is dead. Check out this interview with Clarion's Lynn Polvino on Tina Nichols Coury's blog, Tales from a Rushmore Kid.

A Link to Writing Interviews

As a writer of nonfiction (and a bit of fiction), I belong to several online nonfiction lists.
Recently, I've discovered a valuable new blog: Tales from the Rushmore Kid.

Every so often, she interviews editors, agents, writers and posts a video of them giving her readers a Writer's Tip of the Day.
Here's her description of a recent one:
"Former children¹s editor and author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Publishing Children's Books, Harold Underdown is on the blog today giving us a couple of tips about agents & promotion. He had interesting things to say about non-fiction authors."

Go explore and enjoy. -wendieO
