Today on The Writer's Block, we travel overseas to chat with award-winning children's author Kathryn White! In addition to publishing over 30 books, She is an educator, library advocate, and literacy consultant.
1) Glad to have you back, Kathryn! Please tell everyone a bit about who you are and where you live and work.
Hello, I live in the South West of England and work from home.
2) What were you working on when we spoke last? (Interview link: http://raychelle-writes.blogspot.com/2012/05/writers-block-interviews-kathryn-white.html)
I was just launching Ruby’s Sleepover at our last interview. That book came out and another follow-up Ruby’s Baby Brother commenced. That too is out now. It’s been a great series to work on.
3) Catch us up on what you have done since then.
Since our last interview I’ve written Sea Wolf, an educational text for Bloomsbury, which came out this year, also a picture book, due out next Summer with Andersen Press. But the most interesting project I’ve embarked on to date is BALANCE; it’s a Y/A novel based around the drugs scene for teens. Publishers didn’t take it on so it has gone through my Agent, Bath Literary Agency and is out now on White Glove. It’s hard work getting it out there, but worth every minute if it gets kids talking and supporting each other in dealing with what is cultural fact of life. It’s published under the pseudonym, Kit White.
