In working with authors, one thing comes up again and again is how to develop “voice.” How do you find your characters' voice? Is your story's voice the same as the character voice? And, how do you find your own voice as an author? Voice is tough to define and even tougher to capture, so we're bringing you excerpts from a Mini Summit we gave on books with great voice. This is part 1 of a four-part series. We start with Co-Founder Julie Hedlund defining the types of voices found in picture books and jump to funny girl and Co-Founder Katie Davis for thoughts and examples on using a funny voice. This is a fun one!    Books mentioned in this episode:  THIS BOOK IS GRAY by Lindsay Ward SNAPPSY THE ALLIGATOR AND HIS BEST FRIEND FOREVER PROBABLY written by Julie Falatko and illustrated by Tim J. Miller

We review the book "No Boring Stories!" with words by Julie Falatko and pictures by Charles Santoso.Support the show

In this episode of Story of the Book, we talked to Julie about her latest picture book, Yours in Books, out now from Harry N. Abrams. We loved hearing Julie talk about the process of writing a picture book, revising a book 80 times or more, and why she never regrets setting high expectations for her work.

We are so happy to welcome Julie Falatko, author of Snappsy The Alligator (Did Not Ask To Be In This Book) and all-around delightful human, to talk with us about her writing process, the transition from picture books to middle grade novels—and how to maintain your ability to concentrate and do “deep work,” even when living in a year that's a dumpster fire. We also talk about preserving your emotional openness and sense of the world (so you can write works that appeal to young listeners), nurturing your creativity, and scheduling in purposeful analog time to keep you (and your projects) vivid in all the right ways. The wonderful post Julie references is Word Count Dracula by agent Jennifer Laughran: http://literaticat.blogspot.com/2011/05/wordcount-dracula.html Julie is the author of the picture books Snappsy the Alligator (Did Not Ask to Be in This Book) and Snappsy the Alligator and His Best Friend Forever (Probably) illustrated by Tim Miller, (Viking Children's), and Two Dogs in a Trench Coat Go to School (Scholastic). More books are coming! Julie lives with her family in Maine, where she maintains the Little Free Library in front of their house. You can meet with Julie here: https://manuscriptacademy.com/julie-falatko

Snappsy the Alligator (Did Not Ask to be in this Book) by Julie Falatko

Biz and Theresa are glad to be back from vacation and are ready to talk Kid Hangovers! Can they be cured by hair of the hotdog? Is there any way to help our kids recover from a night at Nana’s or the Chuck E Cheese birthday party or is this where they have to gain insight from experience? Either way, comparing this process to a hangover makes it less painful. Plus, we talk with Julie Falatko, author of the delightful children’s book Snappsy the Alligator (Did Not Ask To Be In This Book) about getting work done with four kids and the importance of giving yourself permission to do it.
