Children and young people are often intrigued by the writing process. An author visit peels away the mystery of writing for young people.
Engaging with an author is an exciting way to help the writing process come alive for them. It offers children and young people a chance to get up close and personal to ask all the questions –
How do you form a plot
How do you create characters
Where do you get ideas from
Do you ever want to give up?
Author visits give students a chance to see that writers are people just like themselves, inspiring them to explore and develop their own unique talents. Young people realize that writing is not magic. They too can make their dreams come true!

A beautiful afternoon at Covenant Presbyterian School. Read excerpts from a Saint in Brown Sandals to the younger group and from the Twelfth Heart to the older ones. We talked about creative writing and acted out the structure of a story. We are already looking forward to Next time.
