I Will Be at the Writer's Loft Holiday Bazaar & Book Fair at An Unlikely Story

I am excited that I will once again be signing and selling books at the Writer's Loft Holiday Bazaar and Book Fair! And I am even more excited that the fair will be held at An Unlikely Story, the brand new indie bookstore founded by Jeff Kinney, author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series (and staffed by former colleagues and friends!). If you live in the area, this is a fantastic and unusual opportunity to meet an whole room full of authors at once and get signed, personalized books for everyone on your gift list, all in one place.

Young Authors Club and Grub Street Writing for Children Classes at the Greater Boston JCC

Do you know someone who would be interested in joining the Young Authors Club at the Greater Boston JCC in Newton? This class is open to young writers ages 8-11 (approximately). The next class session begins Sunday, January 18th. I've been inspired working with such passionate talented kids and I hope to meet some more of them this winter. Here's a link to the registration page: http://www.bostonjcc.org/CalendarDetails.aspx?eventID=5633

I will also be teaching a Grub Street class for grown-ups at the JCC on writing for children. This class will take place on Thursday afternoons beginning January 22nd. We'll be focusing on picture book and middle grade writing, and I will tailor the class according to the interests of the students. Here's a link with more information about that one: https://www.grubstreet.org/findaclass/class/writing-for-children-2/
