Conversations with Writers: Emily Zarka--Researching Monsters & Writing in Chunks

In this video, I talk with scholar of monsters, educator, and TV series host Dr. Emily Zarka! We talk about an illustrated text Dr. Zarka is working on, what’s coming up on the PBS Monstrum series she writes and hosts, collaborative writing, navigating the differences between writing for academic audiences and public audiences, the value of peer review, the importance of sources and information accuracy, having difficult conversations with yourself and your students, writing and its relationship to sensory cues, the value of taking a break, love of learning, reading aloud, writing in chunks, making outlines, and some of Dr. Zarka’s influences!Links to Dr. Zarka’s Work:YouTube:    / @pbsstoried   Website: www.dremilyzarka.comSerial Killers: Real and Imagined (Audible Series): https://www.dremilyzarka.com/serial-k...
