Episode 225 Get #ComfortablewithWeird How visualization and imagery help writers connect with readers, with Julie Berry

Our guest this week is children&#8217;s fiction and YA author Julie Berry, and here&#8217;s why: she gave a talk at a conference about visualizing and imagery that Sarina has &#8220;been thinking about for 7 years.&#8221; That should tell you how much gold there is in this episode&#8212;all kinds of useful stuff about how we use images and senses to spark our own creativity and build a connection with our readers in every genre. We think you&#8217;ll love it. <br/><br/>#AmReading<br/><br/>Julie: <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780547550299">The Witch of Blackbird Pond</a> by Elizabeth George Speare<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780062803450">Beauty</a> by Robin McKinley<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780141309750">The Blue Sword</a> by Robin McKinley<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780141309811">The Hero and the Crown</a> by Robin McKinley<br/><br/>The Perilous Gard by Elizabeth Marie Pope<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781536988659">The Secret Life of Trees</a> by Robin Blackwell<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781447299769">Black and British</a> by David Olusoga<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780745330723">Staying Power</a> by Peter Fryer<br/><br/>Sarina: <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781496725172">Love Lettering</a> by Kate Clayborn<br/><br/>KJ: <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780593085028">Tiny Imperfections</a> by Alli Frank&#160;&&#160;Asha Youmans<br/><br/>Find Julie at:&#160;<br/><br/>Her Website:&#160;<a href="http://www.julieberrybooks.com/">www.julieberrybooks.com</a><br/><br/>On Twitter:&#160;<a href="http://www.twitter.com/julieberrybooks">www.twitter.com/julieberrybooks</a><br/><br/>On Facebook:&#160;<a href="http://www.facebook.com/julieberrybookspage">www.facebook.com/julieberrybookspage</a><br/><br/>Via Instagram:&#160;<a href="http://www.instagram.com/julieberrybooks">www.instagram.com/julieberrybooks</a><br/><br/>Thanks to everyone who supports the podcast financially.
