Educator Newsletter

Please take note of our YA author panel on Saturday, April 11 at 4 pm.  This is a great opportunity for students to engage in one-on-one discussions with three authors about the writing process, character development, strategies for establishing plot lines and more. 

The poetry contest is ongoing.  If you are doing a poetry lesson, anyway, what better way to motivate the students by enabling them to enroll in the contest.  Let us know if you have any questions.  More information below.
