When Maya is forced to attended a hearing school, she sets out to prove that her lack of hearing won\u2019t stop her from chasing her dreams or staying true to herself.<\/p>\n<p><b>Hannah VanVels:\u00a0<\/b>Hi Alison! We can\u2019t wait to hear more about this book. What is the inspiration behind the main character Maya and her story in\u00a0<em>The Silence Between Us<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alison Gervais:\u00a0<\/strong>I\u2019m not sure if there was ever one specific moment where I just <em>knew <\/em>this was a story I needed to tell. I think it happened on its own, to be honest. Maya was a very fun, unique kind of character to create, and right from the beginning I fell in love with the way her voice began to develop. She\u2019s spunky and not afraid to speak her mind. I myself am the exact opposite, so it was fun to write from such a different perspective.<\/p>\n<p><b>Hannah VanVels<\/b><strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0This book is #OwnVoices. You are very much a part of the community from whose perspective you\u2019re writing. How have your own experiences shaped Maya\u2019s voice?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alison Gervais:\u00a0<\/strong>I didn\u2019t actually step foot into the Deaf community until I was already in college, so of course, I\u2019m still learning about their beautiful culture and language, and I think that\u2019s going to be a lifelong journey. I was born with normal hearing that got progressively worse as I got older, so I never really knew about the Deaf world until I was eighteen.<\/p>\n<p>But even though it seems as if I have one foot in both worlds\u2014hearing and Deaf\u2014a lot of my own experiences did wind up shaping Maya\u2019s voice. I\u2019ve been mocked and teased because of my hearing loss, had people reach out and finger my ear or pull out my hearing aid just to get a closer look, even gotten in trouble at work because I didn\u2019t mention I have hearing loss. What Maya faces throughout the story looks a little different, but experiences like those stick with you long after the fact.<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Hannah VanVels<\/b>:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Friendship is a major theme in this novel. The friendship between Maya and her hearing friend Nina and Maya and her Deaf friend Melissa are complex and nuanced. How is Maya\u2019s connection different with Nina than it is with Melissa? What about makes each of their friendships unique?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alison Gervais:\u00a0<\/strong>Maya\u2019s friendship with Nina will always look a little different from her friendship with Melissa, because Nina is hearing, and Maya is not. However much Nina tries to learn about Maya\u2019s world, that\u2019s something she won\u2019t ever have in common with Maya. But despite their differences\u2014or Maya and Melissa\u2019s similarities\u2014they\u2019re all friends, and I think that\u2019s what makes their friendship unique.<\/p>\n<p><b>Hannah VanVels<\/b><strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0We love books that are inclusive of all different kinds of characters. Why do you think it\u2019s important for YA readers to meet characters like Maya, Beau, Nina, Jackson, and Melissa? What\u2019s is like to create characters who view the world so differently?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alison Gervais:\u00a0<\/strong>I think one great way for people to experience characters and stories different from their own is to pick up a book and read, and I think that\u2019s what readers will see when they read <em>The Silence Between Us<\/em>. And to create characters who view the world in different ways can be a challenge sometimes\u2014it was for me\u2014but I\u2019ve found that the more time you spend in that world writing, the characters take on a life of their own eventually, which is always a good feeling!<\/p>\n<p><b>Hannah VanVels<\/b><strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0 Both spoken dialogue and signed dialogue are represented in this book. How is writing signed dialogue different than writing spoken dialogue?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alison Gervais: <\/strong>This was one of the major challenges about telling Maya\u2019s story, because American Sign Language is not English, and there\u2019s really no <em>direct<\/em>translation from one to the next. I went through my old ASL textbook, a great online tool called lifeprint.com, and spoke with a friend of mine who is Deaf to figure out the best way to represent ASL throughout the story\u2014all caps, for example\u2014and I think the end result is as accurate as I could\u2019ve hoped for.<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Hannah VanVels<\/b>:\u00a0 <\/strong>Tell us more about the gorgeous cover!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alison Gervais:\u00a0<\/strong>I still cannot get over how beautiful the cover is! Unbelievably the Blink team was able to get in touch with the superbly talented Nancy Rourke, who is an amazing, well-known Deaf artist. The sign on the cover means \u201cfriend\u201d and the colors just bring it to life. I am so honored Nancy agreed to make the cover! Definitely check out more of her artwork, because it\u2019s all amazing.<\/p>\n<p><b>Hannah VanVels<\/b><strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0 Any spoilers you want to share?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alison Gervais: <\/strong>Not a darn one!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, Alison!
