What’s New, Newbery Authors? Meg Medina and Christina Soontornvat

July 31, 2022 by Travis Jonker   Leave a Comment

Travis: I recently moderated a panel called What’s New, Newbery Authors? at the ALA annual conference in Washington D.C. It was a joy talking with Meg Medina and Christina Soontornvat about their Newbery experiences and much more.

It was such a good talk, we’re breaking it into two parts. Part one is out now, part two is coming soon.

We hope you enjoy the episode:
