Judy Blume is the legendary writer of books for young adults including Are You There God It's Me Margaret, Deenie, Tiger Eyes, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing and Blubber. Her last book, 2015's In The Unlikely Event, was published more than a decade ago. Blume now spends her time reading children's books behind the counter at her bookstore in Key West, Florida. Though she says she is done writing, her books remain beloved; her readers numerous and devoted. Judy Blume spoke with NPR's Scott Simon at the Santa Fe International Literary Festival in May. Here are excerpts from that conversation, edited in parts for clarity and length. Scott Simon: How did you begin to write? What do you think made you a writer? Judy Blume: I was a reader. And, you know, I meet so many kids and they say, "I want to be a writer when I grow up, but I don't like to read." And I say, "You know what? Forget being a writer." Because I think every writer — that I know anyway — grew up a reader. And certainly that was true for me.

🧵Dear NPR,

I wish you could gently coax #ScottSimon and #RonElving to establish beachheads here on this platform.

When people HERE start writing their names, Scott Simon, Ron Elving, in the clear, or with hashtags, that’s evidence of a growing clamor.

I’ve tweeted with Scott, & he’s seemed iffy.

“When he met this week with Senator Chris Van Hollen, Kilmar Abrego Garcia was wearing a Kansas City Chiefs hat.

Maybe sometimes, a hat is just a hat.”
