Q: What’s your best writing advice? A: Pedro Martín: Don’t be too precious about your writing. Write for fun, write for any reason, and save it all. Later on, you’ll have so much to pull from.

Q: What’s your favorite thing about writing? A: Pedro Martín: I love telling stories and seeing where they take me. Sometimes, a story takes on a life of its own and heads in an unexpected direction. It drives my editor crazy, but I love it!

Q: What was your favorite subject in school? A: Pedro Martín: I liked English, history, and social studies, but I liked drawing even more. I could only take in information while doodling. I’d sometimes draw on my desk and got in trouble for it every single time!

In our newest Storyteller Spotlight, author Rex Ogle read from Free Lunch, his new book about three middle school students who find support in one another as they face life’s challenges. “I write these books to help kids see that they’re not alone.”

Mackin Educational Resources @mackinlibrary.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Q: What inspired you to start writing? ✍️ A: When Rex Ogle was young, he felt lonely and found comfort in reading. He loved that stories let him escape into new worlds and, as a writer, gave him control over the story and the chance to create the happy endings he wanted. 📚
