Bookshelf: The Bookshelf Interviews

The Bookshelf Interviews are one of my favorite parts about blogging Innovative. These authors have all been gracious with their time and they never cease to blow me away with their stories of perseverance, creativity and quirky childhoods. All of them have given excellent advice for teen writers, as part of the trademark question.

I present the twelve author interviews we've had since our inception in July 2007. As a note, I know Robin Wasserman has Skinned coming out soon, as well as Laura Preble (Prom Queen Geeks) and Melissa Walker (Violet in Private.)
