First Draft with Sarah Enni

Take a siesta with New York Times best-selling author Kiersten White as she talks about the challenge of balancing writing with kids, the fresh new challenge that every book brings, and hear her read some amazing(ly hilarious) high school poetry!

One of my favorite humans, Kate Hart is author of AFTER THE FALL, due out in 2016 from FSG, and is basically everywhere on the internet. She and I took a break from a marathon Twilight series re-watch to talk witches and talking birds, what a gross word "networking" is, and finding the courage to tell our stories. Also Twilight.
