Skype Video Interview with Allen Zadoff
May2
I talked to Allen Zadoff about writing fears, finding inspiration, pushing through self-imposed blocks, theater influences and reanimating Shakespeare. He inspires me! Allen is the author of the YA book, FOOD GIRLS AND OTHER THINGS I CAN’T HAVE and MY LIFE THE THEATER AND OTHER TRAGEDIES. Visit Allen @ allenzadoff.com

Thanks Beth! Allen was wonderful, wasn’t he?

Angela, this was wonderful–I want to read Allen’s books now. I liked when he said when he is working that he needs to be “curous and open to surprise.” Oh, how I like that, because you know, your characters can mess with you and suddenly say or do something you weren’t expecting.

Thank you Jennifer, I loved how Allen shared his process too. I connected with most of what he said. And yes, I agree that it’s always good to be open to the process, let your characters be who they are.
