Walking and Talking with . . . M.T. Anderson!
There were many fine and fantastic works of nonfiction for older children and teens in 2015. One such book won the YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction Award while another won an Honor. Now those two authors chat about the process of creating narrative nonfiction. We’ve featured a fair number of Walking and Talking chats on this site, but I think this one is of particular note. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Steve Sheinkin in conversation with M.T. Anderson:
For those of you curious about Mr. Anderson’s book you can see my interview with him here.

This was just fantastic. And I love the last panel: “The readers are out there.”
