Taking The Yarn to #NCTE17
Colby: I’m excited to head to the National Council for Teachers of English Annual Conference today. It is one of my favorite conferences. I’ll spend the next four days attending sessions, connecting with educators, visiting with old friends, making new friends, and interview book creators for The Yarn.
Travis and I try to do all of our interviews for the show in person. Since we both live in Michigan, conferences are a great opportunity to get a bunch of content for our show.
