DONNA'S PROGRAMS . . .
Donna Gephart, a former creative writing teacher, offers an inspiring, humorous, heartfelt presentation perfect for grades 3 through 8 and for family events that shows students who she was and what she read at their age (hint: comic books). She illuminates how she navigated challenges and rejections to pursue her lifelong dream of writing a book that landed on the shelves of the Free Library of Philadelphia, where she found solace as a lonely kid. Her lively, popular presentation uses engaging stories and images to show her writing process, including the tools she employs, her research methods, where she finds ideas, and the importance of revision. (Donna has a special interest in working with students from low-income families, as she shares her story of growing up in difficult financial circumstances.)
Additionally, Donna offers several creative writing workshops for groups of up to 25 students. These include a mini-lesson on various topics, such as sensory writing or how art inspires art, quiet time to write with specific guided instruction and an opportunity to share in a safe, judgement-free environment, followed by a Q & A.
