Authors Make a Splash


Visits by popular authors have made a splash with students at our elementary schools, middle school and high school. As part of the Reading at the Lake author series, students were visited by an author at each grade level. The successful series provided students with insight into the writing and bookmaking process. Students were amazed that even well known authors start with a sloppy copy and often write several drafts before the book arrives at libraries and bookstores.
