are you noticing a theme? Thank you for such a lovely day. “The children loved you, the teachers loved you, the reading specialist loved you. (You should know that, lest you think I was texting the entire time you were speaking.)” I took copious notes, on my phone-of all places. I have quoted you a zillion times already. And everything you shared about non-fiction writing is just perfect for our current unit in reading and writing, re: research. With warmest wishes, Kate and all the primary students of the L-S School District.'

'We were so honored to have you as our Guest Author! Your enthusiasm for your craft and wonderful storytelling (both in person in the presentations and through your books) are a gift to the children. I'd love to have her come back next year.' -Hamilton ALL of the students K-5 enjoyed her visit and learned from her presentation. Her presentations and book selections were geared toward each grade level/reading level. She is phenomenal at both! Her classroom management skills were excellent as well! She met with our first to fifth graders. They were captivated! Although many authors can write well for young readers, they cannot all PRESENT well to young readers.

'I was amazed at how well she presented to the kindergarteners. Schools respond to Wendy's presentations: Over 50 miles $1400.00 a day (plus air travel and hotel for overnight trips) Wendy also leads narrative non-fiction workshops in some grades and guides the children to write a story in that genre. Wendy shows how her work progresses from the idea, manuscript, galleys, artist's sketches, press sheets and F&G's to a finished book. Several of her students have become published authors. Wendy taught this book chapter by chapter in adult schools and colleges. An updated edition is now available on CD-Rom. Wendy has had over forty-five children's books published and has also written WRITING CHILDREN'S BOOKS: GETTING STARTED for adults and young adults. By sharing real life experiences, she hopes these entertaining and informative tales will inspire children to read books and write them. Wendy lives in Pennington, New Jersey and is available to visit your school to help children discover the joy of writing. She especially enjoys visiting schools to teach writing workshops and lead interactive presentations with children. Wendy Pfeffer, award winning author of many children’s books and one adult book, taught elementary school, directed a nursery school and has led writing classes for all ages.
