Kaelyn Hvidsten proposed to interview Colleen Baldrica, author of Tree Spirited Woman, for a course in "Minnesota Writers" (WRIT 2106). The course, taught by Dr. Beard of UMD's Writing Studies department, visits the giants of our region (e.g., F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tim O'Brien, Wanda Gag), but focuses on living writers. Her interview resulted in a very cool video with what Kaelyn called "so many amazing things to say to aspiring authors like me." Watch the video on YouTube.
