FROM INSPIRATION TO BOOKSTORE SHELF
Grades 3 - 5
45 minutes
In this interactive program, I use examples from many of my 11 published
books to answer the question:
Where does an author get her ideas, and how do these ideas evolve to
become a book on the bookstore shelf?
With the help of PowerPoint slides, original artwork, a printing press sheet,
a brief book production video and other props, I touch on many aspects of
this creative process. Students will learn firsthand how inspiration,
research, and revision come together to form a book. They will also learn
about the roles played by the artist, publishing staff, and more.
By the end of my program, students should have gained an
appreciation both for both the writing process and the
book-making process.
I conclude with my favorite part: Q&A.
