Introducing the Summer 2017 Teachers Write Guest Authors!

It’s almost time for Teachers Write 2017!  Our free online summer writing camp for teachers & librarians kicks off on Monday, July 10th here on my blog. Sign up here if you’d like to join us! If you’d like to know more about Teachers Write, you can learn all about it here.

And now it’s time to introduce our amazing guest author mentors for Summer 2017!  These writers are all volunteering their time, so we ask that you support Teachers Write by purchasing guest authors’ books when you can and requesting them for your school and public libraries. Please spend a little time checking out these writers’ websites and books…

  1. Fabulous….thank you all for your generosity….no worries on book purchases from me. I make a personal and a library list each summer. I love being able to connect an author I “know” to a student I know face to face.

  2. I have a great new sketchbook and my flair pens are ready. Going to follow people on FB and Twitter! Woohoo! Can’t wait. Thank you to all for their generosity!!!

  3. I am nervously looking forward to this journey. As Amy Krause Rosenthal wrote, “may there be more will than hill”!
