In other news (ha, I almost wrote, ‘in other words’), I’m hoping to see some of you Louisville readers at Carmichael’s Bookstore on Frankfort Avenue this Saturday at 4pm! \u00a0I’ll be reading and doing Q&A, and there will be a special presentation for teachers called, “Ways to Enhance Writing Workshop: Lessons from a Real-Live Writer.” \u00a0I always thought I was a pretty good writing teacher, but when I started writing full-time, I realized there were several things I could have done more effectively. \u00a0Here’s a teaser: no more memoirs! \u00a0Nancy Atwell, writing guru, swears by memoirs. \u00a0I loved Nancy Atwell, but I never thought the memoir units really worked, and at Carmichael’s, I will reveal the reasons why.<\/p>\n

I also have a new approach to my get-the-crowd-talking technique. \u00a0Questions will fly. \u00a0Objects will fly. \u00a0Be there.<\/p>\n

Carmichael’s did a great write-up for me, so I’m going to paste it here. Did you know they’re Louisville’s oldest independent bookstore?<\/p>\n\nA MIDDLE GRADE NOVEL WITH A MESSAGE<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, September 11th at 4 PM we welcome local educator and first-time author Jessica Leader for a reading and discussion of her young adult novel, Nice and Mean.<\/p>\n

Come hear Jessica talk about her new book, and if you are a parent, teacher or librarian, you’ll be entered to win a classroom visit from Jessica this fall. Nice and Mean is a well-told, funny, and satisfying story of middle school peer pressure and how two girls, one nice and one mean, learn to broaden their horizons.<\/p>\n

Jessica Leader knows her subject well – she’s taught at schools in Louisville and New York.<\/p>\n
