Do you know about the Children’s Literature Project? On the production blog, you can see snippets of video interviews with many children’s and YA authors and illustrators (and some children’s/YA editors as well, such as Roger Sutton from The Horn Book). Some of the authors include Jane Yolen, Norton Juster (The Phantom Tollbooth), David Small, Peter H Reynolds, and many, many more.
The interviews are part of The Library of the Early Mind, a feature-length documentary film about children’s literature directed by Edward J. Delaney and produced by Edward J. Delaney and Steven Withrow. The film will be released in 2010.
I think this is a fantastic resource!
Know of any other online videos of children’s/YA authors and illustrators? Let me know.

If you write, it’s really important to be part of an honest but respectful critique group, or to have a critique partner. Critiques can help you polish your writing in a way that you couldn’t without an honest and experienced audience.
Jackson Pearce illuminates this is a humorous way in this video–but don’t be fooled, there’s a lot of sound advice here.

Ohhh, exciting, exciting stuff for writers who enjoy reading or learning about writing technique (and I do! I do!): this fall, Writer’s Digest is launching Writer’s Digest TV - bringing writing conferences right to your TV. I wonder if they’ll cover SCBWI?
Writer’s Digest describes it as: “an on-demand, online video network featuring writing advice, tips and instruction from best-selling authors, agents and editors like Brad Thor, Lee Child, Sandra Brown, M.J. Rose, Donald Maass and many others.”
You can watch these two videos from Writer’s Digest TV now: from Thrillerfest 2008 and Sandra Brown. They’re entertaining and informative. Both segments mention having to put out one book a year.
