30-50 minutes with Q&A.The Hardy Boys meets We Dream of Space in this tender middle grade adventure about a girl with the heart of an explorer who discovers more than she bargained for with her two brothers over the course of one fateful week.įinley Walsh and her best friend Sophie were adventurers, like the ones they grew up reading about in 100 of the World’s Greatest Female Adventurers-that is, until Sophie found new friends. This talk can be offered for undergraduate and graduate students interested in writing and publication as well. I will discuss the process from drafting all the way to publication to help students visualize their own future paths to traditional publication. This conversation can be adjusted based on the audience (middle school through graduate school) and curriculum/classroom needs. If the class has read Pepper, students can share questions for the author prior to the talk. I will read a short excerpt from Pepper’s Rules for Secret Sleuthing and discuss topics such as writing mysteries, writing diverse characters, writing middle grade, and/or how Pepper moved from idea to a published novel.
If the class has read Stone Creek, students can share questions for the author prior to the talk.
The Writing Craft Talk can take many different directions depending on the classroom needs and curriculum.
