Author-in-residence Week 4

I’m entering week 4 of my author-in-residence at Keilor Downs College and seeing so many great stories and writers emerging.







We’re working on finishing the stories and getting them ready to submit.







I’ve been sharing with students, what the editing process is like for an author and encouraging them to consider using more active and specific words to make their writing stronger.







We’re also talking about techniques we use like reading our work aloud or getting someone else to read it to ensure that our ideas make sense and translate to compelling writing on the page.
