A VISIT WITH JEANETTE DELVING INTO STORIES In my conference talks and school visits, I take readers into my books, telling the stories behind them, presenting a rousing slideshow, and demonstrating the research and writing techniques that turn an idea into a finished manuscript. GOING BEHIND BOOKS From mountain wildfires and the young people who fight them, to concert halls and musical prodigies, from today's school world to Depression years when wandering teens found hope in the CCC--these are what I write and talk about. I bring books and history alive, encourage readers, and share my passion for writing in presentations appropriate for both small and large groups. WRITING TOGETHER In writing workshops I help students find new ways to reach for their best stories and I provide an inside look at the publishing process--a how-to that's a favorite part of my school visits. SHARING WITH TEACHERS In in-service presentations to teachers, I relate my writing process, offering suggestions for activities that can be carried out by students. INSPIRING OUR YOUNGEST READERS And in a special program designed for primary grades, I use slides and my humorous short stories for younger readers to show how ideas for writing are all around us, just waiting to be picked up and turned into something fun to read.
