The Yarn is Headed to #NCTE16

Equipment is packed and ready to go!

Colby: The National Council for Teachers of English Annual Conference is one of my favorite conferences. Last year, in Minneapolis,  I spent the Saturday of NCTE conducting interviews. I interviewed book creators non-stop from 8 AM until 4 PM. It was a rewarding and exhausting day. This year I’m spreading things out a bit more.

If you are attending the conference, I hope our paths will cross.

I’ll be interviewing the following book creators during the conference for future Unraveller episodes.
