If you've ever dreamed of a writing career but weren't sure where to start, you won’t want to miss this chance to hear from four local children's authors about how they went from being aspiring writers to being published. Our exciting lineup includes author/illustrator Ruth McNally Barshaw (The Ellie McDoodle series for ages 8-12), Deborah Diesen (NY Times-Bestselling picture book The Pout-Pout Fish), Carol A. Grund (The Anna Mei series for ages 8-12), and Amy Huntley (The Everafter, 2009 ALA Morris Award Finalist for ages 12 & up). After speaking about their experiences, the authors will take questions and share resources. Books will be available for sale and signing.
