    The Real Deal with Kate DiCamillo

    In this week's episode of the SCBWI Podcast we are joined by Kate DiCamillo! In her own words, here is her bio: "I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, raised in Clermont, Florida, and currently live in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I write for both children and adults and I like to think of myself as a storyteller. Here are a few more facts about me: I am short. And loud. I hate to cook and love to eat. I am single and childless, but I have lots of friends and I am an aunt to three lovely children (Luke, Roxanne, and Max) and one lovable dog (Franklin). I think of myself as an enormously lucky person: I get to tell stories for a living."
