Inspirational Indie Author Interview #197: S. J. Barratt Draws Inspiration From Scotland's Wild Beauty to Create Eco-Adventures for Young Readers
My guest this episode is Suzanne Barratt, who writes as S. J. Barratt. She blends her background in agriculture and environmental communications with her love of Scotland and Shetland to create eco-adventure stories for middle-grade readers. We talked about her childhood surrounded by books and nature, how she shaped her writing through research and collaboration with an illustrator and editors, and why the indie path gives her the creative freedom she values.
