Join Kimberley on a trip across time to explore the magic of the Southwest through her novels. Time travel, historical events and wars as well as Hispanic and Native American culture open up new worlds of ideas and communication between kids, librarians and teachers through the stories and issues contained within her books. With a fun slide show and a few of Kimberley's favorite books she shows the writing process: how to get ideas for stories, how to HOOK your reader, shaping and structuring, re-writing, editing, and publication.

Workshop #2 - "The Creative Diary"

Students will discover the joy of the writing process and produce a complete short story during this workshop. Fun and provocative exercises, stories, and poems that will get the writing juices flowing. Even reluctant writers will love this fresh approach!

Groups of up to 100 can be accommodated. A library works well, of course, but classrooms and cafeterias can also be used.

Kimberley's presentation is interactive, lasts about 50-60 minutes, and includes an intriguing Imagination Exercise set against extraordinary music as well as time for questions from the audience and the autographing of books.

Kimberley Griffiths Little is the recipient of the Southwest Book Award and her books have been on several state master lists. She is a graduate of the Institute of Children’s Literature and is a member of SCBWI, The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, SWW, Southwest Writers, and WWW, Women Writing the West.

Do something different! Capture the magic of the Southwest and give your students an experience they will never forget!
