About this listen

Amanda Jones definitely gives writing tips in this episode such as listen to music that reflects the mood that you're trying to convey in your manuscript, start with a bang to hook the reader, and seek feedback from a trusted critique partner. I could have featured one of those quotes. But I feel it’s time to get real because during these dark days it’s important to remind ourselves why we show up in the classroom, or the library, or at our desks.
Each time we put pen to paper or walk into a classroom or give a school presentation, we’re striving to make the world a better place. Our hope is that our words and ideas bring joy, wonder, and acceptance to each reader that happens upon our books or each student that steps into our classrooms. Some days the job feels overwhelming, and we may feel defeated before we step foot inside the door or sit down at the desk, but Amanda shows us how to embrace perseverance to help others.
And as Amanda says during this episode, if she can do it, so can we. Without further ado, here is That Librarian Amanda Jones.
Our next episode will feature Ann McCallum and her newest middle grade nonfiction book, Fantastic Flora: The World’s Biggest, Baddest, Smelliest Plants.
