Episode 225 Get #ComfortablewithWeird How visualization and imagery help writers connect with readers, with Julie Berry

Our guest this week is children’s fiction and YA author Julie Berry, and here’s why: she gave a talk at a conference about visualizing and imagery that Sarina has “been thinking about for 7 years.” That should tell you how much gold there is in this episode—all kinds of useful stuff about how we use images and senses to spark our own creativity and build a connection with our readers in every genre. We think you’ll love it. #AmReadingJulie: The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George SpeareBeauty by Robin McKinleyThe Blue Sword by Robin McKinleyThe Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinleyThe Perilous Gard by Elizabeth Marie PopeThe Secret Life of Trees by Robin BlackwellBlack and British by David OlusogaStaying Power by Peter FryerSarina: Love Lettering by Kate ClaybornKJ: Tiny Imperfections by Alli Frank & Asha YoumansFind Julie at: Her Website: www.julieberrybooks.comOn Twitter: www.twitter.com/julieberrybooksOn Facebook: www.facebook.com/julieberrybookspageVia Instagram: www.instagram.com/julieberrybooksThanks to everyone who supports the podcast financially.
