Beth Kephart Interview (with Barbara DeMarco-Barrett)
Friday, March 13, 2009
I've mentioned a podcast recording of a one-hour dialogue I had earlier this week with that gem interviewer, Barbara DeMarco-Barrett. Our topics ranged from the crafting of authenticity in prose to the genesis of my involvement with young adult novels to the making of Nothing but Ghosts and Undercover (I read excerpts of both). We talked about what makes for good books overall. We spoke of how past awards, past seeming successes are, in fact, always in the past, and that every single day of writing feels brand new, raw, and uncertain.
If you can forgive the popped Ps of a long-distance phone conversation (I hope you can and will), I invite you to listen in here.
