With an apartheid of diverse children and young adult books, as well as the dearth of rich, personalized writing opportunities in schools, the National Writing Project Director of National Programs and the Director of the Connecticut Writing Project at Fairfield University asked, ‘How might authors and teachers be brought together during the pandemic to discuss writing processes and books?’ The Write Time resulted, a digital podcast for educators, writers, young people, and families that showcases authors of children’s and young adult literature.
