Veronica Bartles and I have partnered together to help you find your voice as a KidLit Creator through our on-demand writing videos. We have written picture books, chapter books, middle grade, and young adult books. Currently Veronica focuses on fiction, while I love fact-filled informational books. Each course includes a free preview! Visit us at kidlit-creatives.teachable.com.
Consider inviting nonfiction children's author Annette Whipple for an author visit and professional development.
Educators' Facts Are Fun: A Nonfiction Writing Workshop
Annette shares strategies and hands-on activities to effectively teach the nonfiction writing process to students with an emphasis on student research. Participants will use mind mapping, learn tools to evaluate sources, explore revisions, and more. Depending on the time allowed, Annette can focus on the full writing process or just one aspect such as research or revisions. She's happy to work with your ideas.

Annette engages the audience in the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder as she discusses how the pioneer girl we read about in the Little House books became an author and about the adult life of Laura Ingalls Wilder.
Journey of Patience
Patience often looks like waiting, but it's more than that. Annette shares how her impatience gets in the way of relationships and faith. Though changing behavior and attitude are a start, it is the fruit of the Spirit which enables her to sincerely love others.
