Become an Author
with Mr. Strange


This summer, I will work one on one or in small groups (2-3) with a limited number of students going into 2nd, 3rd or 4th grade on an original book. Over 5 to 10 1hr sessions, I will help them to:
  • develop and outline their book idea
  • write and edit the text of their book
  • plan and create illustrations
  • layout the text and illustrations
  • proofread, scan and upload their manuscript
I will edit with the student during the writing process and provide materials for writing and illustrating. About two weeks after the final session, the first full-color, hardbound copy of their book will arrive at their house. The student can then choose whether to make his or her book available for sale to others.

            Scheduling:
Rather than spreading these out with weekly meetings over the summer, I am planning for each "workshop" to take place over a one or two week period of frequent (daily?) sessions. I will be able to schedule a very limited number of these this summer.

Each "workshop" will take a minimum of 5 sessions.

            Costs:
1 student: $50.00 / hour
2 students together: $80.00 / hr
3 students together: :$105.00 / hr
