Five years after retiring from my position at Lincoln Charter School, I’m going back! I was invited to come to Career Day and talk about being an author. I hesitated at first thinking perhaps I should wait until my first book is actually published, but then I thought of the perfect solution.
My publisher, and CEO of Year of the Book, Demi Stevens, has agreed to join me. She not only has more experience and knowledge of the entire writing process, but she has also just published her second picture book. It is absolutely adorable, and the children will love seeing and hearing Roger, Roger.
I am excited to share my own experience with the kids as well, and hope some of them will be encouraged to make writing (or illustrating) a part of their future.
