Teens Get to Do the Interview

        

In late March, as part of our first ever You Do the Interview series, Café Skill will be hosting an interview with best-selling youth literature author Cynthia Leitich Smith. As you know, she's the author of Eternal (a companion to Tantalize), and a faculty member of the Vermont College of Fine Arts MFA program. But guess what? There's a big surprise: I'm not leading the Q & A. It might be you, if you're a teenager or close to it. If your name gets picked, you'll get a free copy of Eternal.

It's easy to enter your name: just leave a comment below. I'll be picking one of the names from the comment list out of a bowl next Wednesday, March 24, to find out who the lucky interviewer is!

If the thought of coming up with questions feels daunting, no worries. I'll be happy to talk you through it.  I'll forward the questions on to Cynthia and she'll send me back her answers. She wrote me and said the whole idea sounds fun, so . . . what are we waiting for? Jump in :)

I would love to have the opportunity to interview Cynthia. I have followed her work for the last couple of years and we offer RSS of her blog at our Ning site, RAW INcK (Reading and Writing in Kentuckiana). After a year and a half of hosting this Ning with the juniors enrolled in my class, we are starting to pick up some steam at 500 members of the network. Thank you for offering this amazing opportunity. Whoever you select will have the chance to interact with a real treasure within the current YA scene.

THis may be one of the questions I will be asking if i get the chance to interview her :What inspires you most to write down what you feel each day as an author and turning your life story into a book where even though your felings don't shine through but it still allows you to connect with millions of readers out there in the world all by just taking up that pen and paper or just turning on the computer and start writing away? Ps: i am a budding author who loves to connect with other authors around the globe!)
