Listen in on two hugely different writers for the hugely diverse, discerning, demanding Middle Grade audience. Ann Murtagh and Padraig Kenny (yes, really!) discuss their obsessions with history, family and community, their approaches to writing, the power of narrative, the importance of character and excitement, and a heck of a lot more. Take notes!
