Author Interview: Sara Zarr
Posted on Thu, Dec 22, 2011
Sara Zarr is AWESOME! I interviewed her in St. Louis and then saw her at NCTE and she was so cool-she introduced me to her husband, and we chatted for a few moments. Our exchange reminded me of how awesome children’s and young adult author’s are-they are always so kind to their fans and so humble-no one I’ve met has an ego or has been unwilling to talk to me!
Sara Zarr is a great writer with four books to her credit; I’ve read all but her latest one, and they are great realistic fiction! She was a National Book Award Finalist for her first book, Story of a Girl and all of her books have won tons of awards and starred reviews. Check out her website-SaraZarr.com.
You can tell from her interview that Sara is a funny and thoughtful writer who doesn’t take herself too seriously, but has some great points for students on the importance of writing.
