“Anyone who writes down to children is simply wasting his time. You have to write up, not down. Children are demanding. They are the most attentive, curious, eager, observant, sensitive, quick, and generally congenial readers on earth. They accept, almost without question, anything you present them with, as long as it is presented honestly, fearlessly, and clearly.” <\/p>\n— E. B. White<\/center><\/strong><\/p>\n
Important Note on Searching This Page:<\/font><\/strong> For a long time, this page has needed some serious updating. I am many, many<\/em> years behind on adding the list of folks I have interviewed. Once I find Hermione’s Time-Turner, I hope to do so, but I doubt that will ever happen. For now, I leave this page up.
