My students enjoyed hearing two authors talk about their writing and publishing journey. Their presentation made writing and reading become more real for the students. Since the visit, many students have read the 2 books and a few have even started to write their own story.

Our planning definitely made the difference and polished the presentation. It also really alleviated my nerves. Like some authors, I think of myself as shy, and worried I was in over my head. As soon as I knew our platform and we talked out the panel questions, I realized this was totally doable. And partnering with another YA author kept it engaging.

Next time (or in the future) I’d love to learn how to engage the audience of teens even more — like with asking them questions and involving them more in discussion. Something to strive for.
