Teachers Write: Meet your guest authors!

One of my favorite things about being an author is being part of an incredible community of people who write and illustrate books for kids and young adults. Some of you interact with these authors via Skype and online, and you already know how much they rock. The rest of you are about to find out, because more than THIRTY guest authors have offered to visit us at Teachers Write! over the next ten weeks.

Some guest authors will be offering Monday morning mini-lessons.  Some will be providing Tuesday & Thursday writing prompts, and some have signed up to answer your questions on Wednesdays and hang out to be part of our Friday Writing Happy Hour conversations. They’re doing this because they support teachers and librarians, so please support them, too, by purchasing and sharing their books whenever you can.


The list above includes folks who signed up and committed to visit on specific days. Other authors will be dropping in from time to time to answer questions and join our conversations, too, so get ready for some surprises along the way. (You never know who’s going to show up at writing camp!)


Note for authors: If you signed up for a day but you’re not on this list yet, please let me know and I’ll fix that. (With 570 teachers/librarians signed up so far, it’s been a little crazy around here…  :-) If you haven’t signed up to help but would like to join us as a guest author, please drop me an email (kmessner at kate messner dot com)  Thanks!
