It's been a whirlwind around here lately! I'm halfway through my final semester as an Undergrad - the end is in sight! But I have a couple of big events coming up related to my project.
On March 18th I will be presenting a workshop at the Michigan Reading Association's Annual Conference. You can check out information about the conference here. I am so excited for the opportunity to share these books with educators that have the direct ability to put them into the hands of kids! Plus, I can't wait to listen to some of the other presenters and maybe even meet some of my writing idols like Jason Reynolds, Lois Lowry or Sharon Draper!
On March 23rd I will be presenting at Eastern Michigan's Undergraduate Symposium. This event is open to the public and I highly suggest coming to check it out if you have the opportunity. Event details can be found here I am personally presenting at 9:15am, but the event lasts all day. I had the opportunity on Tuesday night to touch base with some of the other presenters at a workshop and the plethora of information covering a wide variety of disciplines is mind-boggling. I am so proud to be part of this event again this year.
On a more personal note, my journey in Children's Literature is far from over. In December I was officially accepted into Eastern's Children's Literature Master's program! This week I also was offered a full-time Graduate Assistantship position of which it took me all of a nano-second to shout YES to! I will be an instructor of a section of First-Year Writing as well as serving as a TA in an Introduction to Children's Literature lecture.
I've got a couple other books I hope to get up and posted this week, so keep an eye out for that. If you'd like further information on either of these events, send me an email!
