I had an amazing time at Longwood's Summer Literacy Institute conference. I was honored to be the banquet speaker, where I spoke about the power of the universal and the particular story. Loved meeting @mrschureads.bsky.social & can't wait to read his award-winning novel-in-verse LOUDER THAN HUNGER.
