School Visits
I love visiting schools, either in person or via Skype. My presentations are suitable for grades 4 through 7 and for groups large and small.
I encourage kids to think about:
- Where ideas come from and how to turn random thoughts into stories.
- What makes a book scary, or funny, or gripping?
- Your brain on reading.
- Why problems are a good thing.
- Terrible first drafts, sketchy second ones and the magic of rewriting.
I always leave time for questions. The best part of every visit is finding out what kids themselves have to say!
