And there, the spirit was that we were part of a five-college system.
Michael ArbibGUEST
There was UMass, and then we had Amherst College, we had Hampshire College, we had Smith College, and Mount Holyoke College, all within about a seven-mile diameter circle.
Michael ArbibGUEST
And so we were quite broad in our interests.
Michael ArbibGUEST
We had neuroscience, we had philosophy, we had cognitive science, and we would have meetings which would span these areas.

Jean FeiwelGUEST
She wrote about 65 to 80 of the 213 novels, but she outlined them all.
Daniela DoncelHOST
We visited Anne's archives at Smith College, her alma mater, and I saw Anne's handwritten outlines.
Daniela DoncelHOST
She had her process down pat, to the point where the first couple bullets would say Standard Chapter 1 and Standard Chapter 2.

That kind of repetition is comforting for middle grade readers, and it helps readers immerse themselves quickly, whether they're reading the books out of order or if they're coming back to the series.

Shikha JainGUEST
It's allowed me to... think about growth in other ways versus growth in theme cultures, right? So that's one pivotal moment.
Shikha JainGUEST
Another pivotal moment I'd say is when I picked my college.
Shikha JainGUEST
So I chose to go to Smith College, which is a small liberal arts women's college in Western Massachusetts.
Shikha JainGUEST
And, you know, at the time I was very concerned because I'd always gone to a co-ed school, but it built or it gave me the confidence that I never thought I'd ever have, right? And being a women's college, just being able to sync up with my peers who also really like my friends and my professors and people that I interacted with that gave me this confidence that I didn't have, they unlocked the confidence that I didn't think I had to help me just get to where I am today.
Betsy CornwellGUEST
many like I think like I grew up in a quite abusive household and I was really lucky to encounter other sort of caring figures in my life I think especially teachers I was always sort of a nerdy kid and had a hard time sort of socially in elementary school but really enjoyed the school part of school and had some really wonderful teachers And my third grade teacher introduced me to A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle, which really put me on the path to writing speculative young adult novels.
Betsy CornwellGUEST
And I later ended up going to Smith College, which is a historically women's college that Madeleine L'Engle also went to.
Betsy CornwellGUEST
And actually, I would include Madeleine L'Engle, the writer, as a sort of childhood maternal figure of mine.
Betsy CornwellGUEST
I bet.
