A Chat with Kate Klise, part 6

This interview was conducted by Emily Brown, Children's Librarian at the Mt. Pleasant Library in Providence, for the 2010 summer reading booklet.
  
Question (Emily Brown): What other things, besides kids books, do you like to write?

Answer (Kate Klise):  Anything and everything. Letters, email, speeches for other people. If I couldn't write books, I'd be happy writing menu copy. I just like fitting words together. William Maxwell, a writer I adore, talked about the happiness of "getting it down right." That's exactly what it is.
