Spring 2005 Flying Starts: Cecil Castellucci

By Jennifer M. Brown | 06/24/2005 @ 12:00AM

Andy Warhol had a 15-minute theory; Cecil Castellucci has "a 10-year theory." Not about getting fame, exactly, but about getting a chance.
Spring 2005 Flying Starts: D.L. Garfinkle

By Lynda Brill Comerford | 06/24/2005 @ 12:00AM

Michael (Storky) Pomerantz, the endearingly nerdy hero of Storky: How I Lost My Nickname and Won the Girl (Putnam), first emerged over two decades ago in an assignment that D.L. (Debbie) Garfinkle wrote for a creative writing class. "We were given seven words that we had to use in a one-page story," recalls Garfinkle, who was taking the class at Pierce College "just for fun" while working a "really boring job at AT&T." She says her teacher loved her description of Storky and asked to keep it to use as a writing sample for other students. "I never got the piece back," she said.
Spring 2005 Flying Starts: John Green

By Sue Corbett | 06/24/2005 @ 12:00AM

A few years ago, when freshly minted college grad John Green was contemplating his future, he probably didn't count on being linked in the public imagination with the use of a toothpaste tube to demonstrate the mechanics of a particular type of oral sex.

Fall 2004 Flying Starts: Katherine Hannigan

By Jennifer M. Brown | 12/20/2004 @ 12:00AM

Ida B talks to trees. But that's not all. They answer her. Yet, somehow, Katherine Hannigan in her debut novel, Ida B... and Her Plans to Maximize Fun, Avoid Disaster, and (Possibly) Save the World (Greenwillow), makes the situation completely plausible. By the second chapter, her heroine is in the family's apple orchard, greeting the trees by name, and readers think nothing of it.
Fall 2004 Flying Starts: Katy Kelly

By Sally Lodge | 12/20/2004 @ 12:00AM

Though she just recently penned her first novel, Lucy Rose: Here's the Thing About Me (Delacorte), Katy Kelly is hardly a newcomer to writing. Remarking lightly that she's been a writer "for a million years," she notes that she has been a reporter for People and a feature writer for the Life section of USA Today, and is currently a senior editor at US News & World Report. And she comes from a family of writers: her mother, Marguerite Kelly, is the author of The Mother's Almanac and a syndicated column on family issues, and her father, Tom, wrote for the Washington Daily News.
Fall 2004 Flying Starts: Chuck Richards

By Kathy Weeks | 12/20/2004 @ 12:00AM

Jungle Gym Jitters (Walker) reveals something new each time readers revisit its extraordinarily crafted drawings. Even its author and illustrator, Chuck Richards, admits forgetting about and then discovering anew some quirky detail he's created among the book's countless contraptions and spine-tingling perspectives. His high-flying artwork chronicles a boy's fear of his father's fantastic, sky-scraping jungle gym.
Fall 2004 Flying Starts: Anna Dale

By Shannon Maughan | 12/20/2004 @ 12:00AM

For British author Anna Dale, a childhood fascination with witches proved a key ingredient for the imaginative potion that became her first novel, Whispering to Witches (Bloomsbury).
Fall 2004 Flying Starts: Meg Rosoff

By Sue Corbett | 12/20/2004 @ 12:00AM

Meg Rosoff wasn't able to celebrate the glowing reviews her first novel received when they started coming in—she had just been diagnosed with breast cancer. "I was in the hospital for my first operation when the book was released and all these flowers started arriving. Half of the cards said, 'Congratulations,' the other half said, 'We're so sorry.' "
