Growing a Book

The development of a book from original idea to finished product

From the first spark of an idea to a published book, Janet takes students on a journey through the writing, revising, and publication process.

Packing a Writer’s Toolbox

Nouns. Verbs. Adjectives.

Don’t Forget Your Imagination!

Janet discusses how an author’s words and an illustrator’s images come together to create something magical. A picture book! 

Non-Fiction Fun

Learn how to research historical events and write about

them in a personal and meaningful way.

Janet discusses the importance of research: gathering information, contacting sources, and verifying facts. Janet explains to students how facts can be used to guide their writing, but it is the heart of the story that inspires their words.
