“I'd like to ask Eleanor Roosevelt what she regrets most, because I think that might reveal something that I didn't catch on to while I was writing my book and, hopefully, that would start a conversation.” ThinkingWritingBookRegretHopefullyEleanor Author:Russell Freedman
“I think that today's books, in which every quote, every conversation, is taken from a memoir, an autobiography, an interview, or what-have-you, are much more convincing.” ThinkingBookTakenMemoirAutobiographyConvincing Author:Russell Freedman
“With the audience I write for, I want to make sure that the reader is eagerly turning every page. I want each of my books to be an absorbing reading experience, an authentic piece of literature. The worst thing that can happen is for a book to have a chilling effect on the reader, to have a kid pick it up and look at a bunch of footnotes and think, No, I'm not going to read this, it's too intimidating.” ThinkingWritingBookKidsReadingLiteratureAudienceWorstChillIntimidating Author:Russell Freedman
