I am pleased to announce that Phoebe Yeh of HarperCollins has generously agreed to join our CCBC-Net discussion of "Monster" by Walter Dean Myers. Phoebe worked on the book as editor and I'm sure she'll have some interesting insights to share with us. Please feel free to ask her any questions you may have about her work on the book.
For starters, I'd like to ask Phoebe to tell us a little bit about how the book came to be. What did the manuscript look like when you first saw it ? did it have the same double narrative structure that we have in the finished book? And at what point in the writing process did the author begin to think about the design of the book? Since it's so graphically distinctive, I'm wondering how and when the graphics came into play?
