  FROM INSPIRATION TO BOOKSTORE SHELF
     Grades 3 - 5
     40 minutes

    In this interactive program, I use examples from many of my 11 published
    books to answer big questions: 

    Where does an author get her ideas?
    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.


   I conclude with my favorite part: Q&A. 

   By the end of this program, students should have gained an understanding
   of both the writing process and publishing process.
