Welcome to The Write Question, a program that explores the world of writing and publishing in the western United States. Our guest today is author Jeanette Ingold from Missoula, Montana.
Ingold is the author of six young adult novels that feature teens confronting unusual challenges — wildfire in The Big Burn and the Great Depression's Civilian Conservation Corps in Hitch.
Ingold’s awards include a Christopher Award; several New York Public Library Books for the Teen Age honors; and a Society of School Librarians International Best Book Award.
Look for more information about Jeanette Ingold at JeanetteIngold.com.
FYI:
If you’re interested in nonfiction, look for A Great Day to Fight Fire: Mann Gulch 1949, by Mark Matthews of Missoula, Montana.
If you’re interested in poetry, check out Poems Across the Big Sky, an anthology of Montana poetry edited by Lowell Jaeger from Kalispell.
For more information about new books, contact your favorite bookseller or library.
And consider this from Mortimer Adler: “In the case of good books, the point is not how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.”
