I’m the kind of person who needs a lot of alone time, so I have to factor that into my process in order to be productive. Sometimes, when I’m in the middle of something, I can work for a couple of hours on a week night. After long days at work, it’s obviously very hard to focus more at home, so I try to use the nights to decompress so I can be ready to write on the weekends. Well, I guess I would say that when I’m in the midst of a writing deadline, I do a lot of hibernating on nights and weekends, and I basically go into hiding haha.

So, the book I read and reread every time I want to laugh is Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half. Laugh out loud: Do they have to be kids’ books?: I think I’m going to go with adult choices–I spend so much of my time in the world of children’s publishing that it’s a treat to read an adult book! Oooo….OMELETTES have arrived!! While you chew, think about the last book you read that made you…. OZ: I’m very excited to be coming this year! Giuseppe Castellano, art director at penguin, and I will be doing a session together all about the working relationship between the editor and the art director, who is responsible for what, and how their relationship and the decisions they make impact a book in various ways. We’re excited to have you on our Pocono 2017 faculty! Can you give us a little teaser about what you’ll be sharing at the retreat? There’s never a time when I’ll say no to coffee! LB: Hi there, Orli, and welcome to the Eastern Penn Points Cafe! As we settle into our comfy booth, what would you like to drink?
