Your students ARE evil geniuses, right? Did they know that they can use their evil genius skills to become better writers? Author Adam Selzer should know. He'll show them how in a school visit they'll never forget. He'll show them all! Muhahaha!
Adam Selzer is the author of How To Get Suspended and Influence People, I Put a Spell On You, and several more books, including the fortchoming ANDREW NORTH BLOWS UP THE WORLD and THE SMART ALECK'S GUIDE TO AMERICAN HISTORY. He is a member of SCBWI - Here's his Speaker Director listing!. Even though he is an evil genius, his background check came out clean as of February, 2009.
In his "Writing for Evil Geniuses" presentations, Adam tells students that the more fun they have with writing, the better their writing will be - whenever you're writing, he says, you should be laughing maniacally as you imagine the reader trying to guess what's coming next.
The presentation is available all over the U.S. (though rates are lower in the Chicago area) and can be suited to fit any grade from third grade through high school. The length can vary depending on your school's particular needs. Workshops for individual classes are also possible.
OR, if you can't arrange a school visit, your school can visit Adam via a Chicago tour - Adam has been running historical tours, crime tours, and ghost tours around Chicago since 2005. See chicagostudenttours.com for more info!
