What an amazing weekend—working and playing alongside some of my favorite #mg authors, sharing a love of reading and stories with children at the #children’sliteraturefestival #trumanstateuniversity #authorlife #readingwithkids
"Thank you so much! Your words meant so much to me!" exclaimed a 6th grader from Arlington's Kenmore Middle School after taking part in one of two writers workshops with author Heather Murphy Capps. The author led students through her writing process -- from idea to setting, character, and plot development before ever starting to write. The students took many notes, and several were excited to share that they have already started to write their own books!
Before the workshops, each student was able to select and read one the author's two books, "The Rule of Three," or "Indigo and Ida." Ms. Capps signed and personalized each book as students came up to chat after the sessions. Active learning! Active fun! Books (really do) change lives! Special thanks to the Arlington Community Foundation's 2025 Wish List for helping to fund this author event. @hmcwrites@rifnova@arlingtoncommunityfoundation@lernerbooks #rifnova #bookschangelives @davidbaldacciauthor
So excited to share my good news! I get to keep doing what I love: writing books and working with @amyarielfitz and @lernerbooks . Deep gratitude to @litagentshannon , who believes in me and makes this dream possible.
