For the past year, I have been working with Badgerdog Literary Publishing's writers-in-the-schools program, visiting an elementary school classroom twice a week to run creative writing workshops (see my adorable class pictured at right).  At the end of each semester, Badgerdog publishes an anthology of student work from 20+ elementary, middle, and high school classes across Austin.

This past Saturday, Badgerdog celebrated the book release with a student reading and book signing party.  The kids got such a kick out of having strangers ask for their autographs, as well as having their teachers (me included!) serve them cookies and lemonade.  To order a copy of the spring 2009 anthology, visit the Badgerdog online store.
