Meet Lisa Martin!

We were thrilled to host local author, Lisa Martin, to 3rd grade today!  She shared many experiences with us about creating characters, researching information, writing and publishing a book.  What a pleasure to have an author read to us from her own published story!  We'll begin reading Anton and Cecil, Cats at Sea on Monday!

 Lisa worked on this book with her Aunt!  What a special way to write a book.  They shared ideas by email and skype, since Lisa's Aunt actually lives in New York.

 Lisa's characters, Anton and Cecil, are based on her own cats, TJ and Albert.  We can all get ideas for writing from special things in our lives.

Stories aren't very interesting unless there is a problem!  Lisa talked to us about how to develop a problem in a story.

Lisa Martin will be at 

Over The Moon Bookstore in Crozet 

on Sunday, Oct. 20, 3:30-4:40.
