On this episode of the Get Lit(erate). podcast, I am talking with Jeannine Atkins about the power of writing to heal. 

Janine is the author of several books for young readers about courageous women and teaches writing for children and young adults. She’s here today to talk about her newest release, KNOCKING ON WINDOWS, a memoir-in-verse about healing from trauma and finding her voice as a writer.

Today, we explore the pivotal role that reading and writing played in Jeanine’s life, the power of writing that comes off of the page, Jeannine’s advice for getting started on your own healing journey and the quiet courage it takes to tell your story.

Here are the books mentioned in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon and Bookshop affiliate stores below. Thanks for your bookish support!
