The Comics Beat article (published July 8, 2021) is an interview with author Lauren Tarshis and illustrator Corey Egbert about the graphic novel I Survived: The Attacks of September 11, 2001 (the fourth Scholastic Graphix adaptation of Tarshis’s bestselling prose series).Georgia Ball is referenced twice, both times positively and in the context of her role as the script writer/adapter for the graphic novel.
In the opening description of the book, the article credits the project as “illustrated by Corey Egbert and with a script by Georgia Ball.” This establishes her as the key collaborator who adapted Tarshis’s original chapter book into graphic-novel script format.
Later, in the interview itself, Lauren Tarshis praises her directly:
“TARSHIS: I feel so fortunate to have Georgia Ball writing the scripts, and my editor Katie Woehr taking such care with the stories.”
In short, the piece treats Georgia Ball as a valued, behind-the-scenes member of the creative team—specifically highlighting her scripting contributions and Tarshis’s gratitude—without making her the focus of the interview. She is presented as an essential part of what makes the I Survived graphic novel series successful.
