Writing Fiction: A Guide for Pre-Teens (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781499537802)

Heather Wright loves writing for children and teens. Her favourite books to read are mysteries, so she had a lot of fun writing Sherlock Holmes and the Orphanage Mystery for Caramel Tree (Canada). She loves history, too, and has enjoyed writing many short stories for Kayak: Canada's History Magazine for Kids. Recently she received her second Ontario Arts Council Writers' Reserve grant for an anthology for young readers that she is co-writing. Heather's website, http: //wrightingwords.wordpress.com, is a great resource for teen writers and their teachers. An experienced teacher and presenter, Heather visits schools and writing groups to talk about the craft and career of writing, and for several years has run writing workshops for teens at her local library. Heather is also a freelance writer who writes for business and non-profits. Her work has been published on the Web and by local, Canadian, and US publications.
