Q: What is your favorite part about working with the young writers of 826NYC? A: Being in class, I always get surprised at how each student has completely different interests, but everyone seems to know SO MUCH about the thing(s) they love. In just a couple minutes, I can go from reading a piece about the atmosphere of a planet and the expansion of the universe to a fictional spin on the Sonic movie, complete with special moves and detailed drawings of each character.
