Authors and Fans

If you’re a teacher, you get to look your audience in the eye. If you’re a stand-up comedian, you play to a visible crowd. If you’re an athlete, the bleachers hold fans and spectators. When does a children’s book author ever get to see her readers? Today Rachel welcomes author Julie Berry, who answers this question for us. Spoiler alert: She’s pleased to know that she makes a difference. Berry is the author of The Emperor’s Ostrich, as well as the 2017 Printz Honor novel The Passion of Dolssa, the Carnegie and Edgar shortlisted All the Truth That’s in Me, and multiple other well-known titles. She holds a BS from Rensselaer in communication and an MFA from Vermont College.
