Abstract	This article presents an interview with South Asian children's book and young adult fiction writer, Uma Krishnaswami. The interviewer states that "in all her creative endeavors Uma's keen sense of detail, narrative voice, and characterization complicate and humanize portrayals of multicultural peoples worldwide." In this interview, Krishnaswami discusses her beginnings and influences as a writer; her views of today's children's book publishing market; her writing style and approach, especially as she changes from writing picture books to young adult novels; the verbal/visual art collaborative process in writing picture books; where her ideas come from; and her editing and revision process.
