On this week’s #HFGather, host Sarah Aronson talked with Susan Campbell Bartoletti and surprise guest editor Jill Davis! Susan and Jill talked about creating their new book, How Women Won the Vote: Alice Paul, Lucy Burns, and Their Big Idea. Many nonfiction gems were gleaned from their chat:

• Story is the boss: you have to follow what serves your story best
• Sometimes the tiniest details are the ones that bring the story to life
• The importance of journaling and storyboarding
• Kids are interested in the secret lives of adults
• Are there topics that are “too tough” for children’s books?
• From Jill: the most important job of an editor is collaboration
• Deciding if your story idea is yours to tell
