Video Clips from Heinemann!

Here are three videos I filmed with Heinemann about the challenges and rewards of writing.
Reviews:

Even though Independent Writing was published over a decade ago, Rebekah O'Dell finds it just as timely as when it was first published.

In this review, Matt gives a great overview of the book, bringing in his experiences from Heinemann's Teacher Tour where I presented on pop culture.

*My newest book from Heinemann is a year old! (It still has that new book smell!)
For more information on the summer institutes or to apply.
* As some of you know, the publishing numbers for books by and about people of color, different family structures and a variety of socio-economics are rather grim. weneeddiversebooks.org strives to combat that reality. They are currently fundraising in order to help a more diverse body of authors see their books published. Please consider supporting them. Even the smallest amounts will go a long way.
