What Happens When You Write a Book From a Place of Anger with Kimberly Brubaker Bradley

October 28, 2020 by Colby Sharp   Leave a Comment

Colby: I had the opportunity to talk to author Kimberly Brubaker Bradley about her book ‘Fighting Words’ a year ago at the NCTE Annual Conference in Baltimore. It was fascinating to hear her talk about trying to write a book for fourth, fifth, and six grader that deals with sexual assault. I hope you enjoy the episode!

A couple of weeks ago, I had the chance to chat with Kimberly live on YouTube. It was nice to follow up with her. When interviewing her for the episode above, I hadn’t yet read Fighting Words. You can find our livestream conversation below.
