2) Sari Wilson is working on a nonfiction book for Scholastic. State of Emergency profiles two artists and writers — Dave Eggers and Josh Neufeld. The book will discuss Eggers’ oral-history project Voices of Witness and how it grew into his book Zeitoun. Neufeld’s profile will discuss his Red Cross volunteer experience and the book-length comic that grew out of it, A.D. New Orleans After the Deluge. State of Emergency is scheduled for publication in 2011. It will be used in middle school and high school classrooms throughout the country.
