_______________________________________________<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was all amazing, Adrienne Kress is a fantastic author and person, she is very engaging and super nice.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI really liked all the exercises, and how all the exercises really make you think. I think it really helped with my writing!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed the part where I worked together with people to make a story with an object and a genre. It was fun listening to other people\u2019s ideas and I liked sharing my ideas. I also enjoyed spending time with the author.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI really liked how nice she was and the exercises we did. She was really good at giving tips on writing. I just really liked her.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

READINGS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Readings based on The Explorers<\/em>,\u00a0Alex and the Ironic Gentleman<\/em> and Timothy and the Dragon\u2019s Gate<\/em> are geared towards children in grades 4, 5, and 6. \u00a0Readings based on The Friday Society<\/em> and Outcast<\/em> are geared towards students grade 7+. They are 45 minutes to 11\u20442 hours in length depending on your needs.\u00a0 The preferred group size is up to 60 children, and the preferred site is the library, but Adrienne can speak to larger groups in other venues.\u00a0 (She has spoken to small groups in a cozy huddle on the floor in a library and to large groups of a couple of hundred in gyms and auditoriums.)\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a passionate author, professional actor and teacher, Adrienne brings a variety of skills to her readings.\u00a0 She starts with a short talk about \u201chow a book gets published\u201d and \u201cworking with your editors is like working with your teacher\u201d, continues with a dramatic reading from one of the books which can include an inter-active (and safe) mini-lesson in stage fencing (using fingers only, no swords) to bring out the inner pirate in the students and ends with a question period and a book signing opportunity.<\/p>\n

PRESENTATIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Presentations can be geared to any audience, for example, Writer\u2019s Craft classes, writers\u2019 groups, book clubs. \u00a0The length of the presentation varies according to the needs of the group, but are most often 1 to 11\u20442 hours in length.\u00a0 The content can be individualized to the group, but usually covers topics like the trials and tribulations of getting published including how to get an agent, the writing process, working with an editor, identifying your audience, discussing trends in modern literature, the importance of studying past works and authors.<\/p>\n

WORKSHOPS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Like presentations, workshops can be geared to any audience, for example, elementary school students, Writer\u2019s Craft classes, writers\u2019 groups, book clubs. The length of the presentation varies according to the needs of the group but are most often 11\u20442 hours to 3 hours in length, though they can be expanded.\u00a0 The content can be individualized to the group, but usually covers topics like honing your writing skills, creating your own voice, creating a \u201cnew\u201d world, the use of dialogue, humour \u2013 its types and where to use it, identifying your audience, etc.\u00a0<\/p>\n
