Paula Yoo: What I Learned About Writing from Hollywood and the Newsroom

Author Paua Yoo applies many of the lessons she has learned as a journalist and a TV writer to her non-fiction books for kids. For example, from journalism, she learned to write efficiently and clearly, to get to the heart of the matter, primarily from doing boots-on-the-ground research like interviewing Nobel Prize Winner Muhammed Yunus about whom she wrote Twenty-two Cents. From TV writing, she learned about the importance of structure ... think character development and cliffhangers!
