E Train Talks interview!

So honored to be interviewed by the one and only E Train Talks (especially on the five year anniversary)! We do a deep dive into the series, my background, as well as the upcoming TENTH book, SERIOUSLY, CELIA? What a fun chat. You can watch the video HERE.

Celebrating 5 years of E Train Talks with Terri Libenson!  

I’m so excited to welcome New York Times bestselling author, illustrator, and award-winning cartoonist Terri Libenson to E Train Talks!  Terri is the creator of the hugely popular EMMIE & FRIENDS middle-grade series, which blends words, illustrations, and Terri’s unique graphic-novel storytelling, while exploring friendship, anxiety, bullying, and the ups and downs of middle school.  

Terri’s creative journey started long before EMMIE & FRIENDS! We also talk about her work with American Greetings, including L’Chaim, a line of humorous Jewish greeting cards, and her award-winning syndicated comic strip, THE PAJAMA DIARIES.  

And, most of all, in our Q&A, Terri takes us on a deep dive into her New York Times bestselling EMMIE & FRIENDS series, sharing stories behind many of the books and characters, her creative process, how she brings those characters to life, and the real middle-school experiences woven throughout her stories.  

And, of course, we talk about her newest book, SERIOUSLY, CELIA?, the 10th book in the EMMIE & FRIENDS series!
