Joseph Slate
Joseph Slate, a West Virginia native, has always enjoyed painting and writing. I studied journalism at the University of Washington in Seattle, worked as a writer for The Seattle Times, worked as an editor for the Foreign Broadcast Information Service (Washington, D.C., California, and Tokyo), and then went to Yale to study fine arts, despite never having illustrated my own books. My artwork took a turn away from the high art of illustration.My inspiration comes from all over: a childhood sketch of a porcupine, a goofy song I once sung to a godchild, and my teacher-niece and pupil-grand nephew getting ready for kindergarten all inspired me to write a book. Now I'm writing novels, and I'm using the same what-if approach, though the first one was inspired by my childhood in West Virginia. It's called Crossing the Trestle, and the young narrator tackles a challenge similar to one I faced when I was a kid.
