Know More: Web Journalism 2.0, Web Journalism

Last night I prowled the floor of the National Book Awards with a videocamera, asking the finalists to explain how they survived the rough early years. We talked about terrible jobs, stress, bad paychecks, and how to keep writing despite it all.

Today, National Book Awards finalists Kathleen Duey and Sara Zarr (both nominated in the Young Adult category) discuss their worst jobs.

Stay tuned for more interviews from the National Book Awards floor. If you're looking for live blogged coverage of the event from Marydell, Levi Asher, Ed Champion, and Sarah Weinman, just visit Ed's NBA Archives.
