Bridget Heos Author Visits
In Person or Virtual, Fiction or Nonfiction, Let's Plan a Fan-stache-stic Day!
Read what others have to say about Bridget Heos's author visits.
Options:
MUSTACHE BABY AND MORE (grades K-3)
learn how a picture book is made from idea to publication, with an emphasis on the tried and true writing process that students learn in school. Focus is on fiction with a little nonfiction.
STEGOTHESAURUS AND SEEING YOUR LIFE AS A STORY (grades 3-5)
how long does it take to write a book? A lifetime! All the things that happen in your life--good and bad--are part of your story. You are the hero in that story. You can also use life events and what you learned from them to write a story!
ANIMALS: JUST LIKE US (grades 3-5)
learn how a nonfiction book is made, from research to publication, with a focus on cool animal facts.
BLOOD, BULLETS, AND BONES (grades 6 and up)
learn how a nonfiction book is made, with a focus on real-life murder mysteries!
This can also be presented as a writer's workshop. Develop an idea, summary, outline, map, and even cover art--everything you need to start writing your own murder mystery!
