So, I've started tweeting excerpts of my second novel. Just to build awareness and to get sections out into the open air some. I'm not looking for approval or evaluation, per se. Much more interested in building awareness that it's a thing on its way into the world.

Authors, readers: What do you think about that?

On Writing, with Monica Kulling

Monica Kulling is the author of more than two dozen books of children's literature. Kulling is well known for her biographies that introduce young readers to historical figures. Her latest book is In the Bag! (Tundra Books), which tells the story of Margaret Knight, the inventor of, among other things, the paper bag.

Monica Kulling talks with Open Book about her new book, why she writes for a young audience and that so much depends upon the red wheelbarrow...
