Virtual Author Visit: Neil Shusterman
Join us in the @TZHSLibrary, Monday, November 15th during Lunch Period 6 for a Virtual Author Interview with Neil Shusterman.
Mr. Shusterman’s large group presentations are question driven, as he finds the students tend to be more tuned-in when the presentation is interactive. He tailors his answers to make sure he hits the following topics:
- When he first began writing, and the positive influence of school and teachers.
- The various forms of writing he does—books, games, film and TV.
- The importance of creativity and imagination in all aspects of life.
- The process of writing, and more importantly rewriting.
- How the publishing and entertainment industries work—the process of creating a book, TV show or film, from the writer’s perspective.
- The practical aspects of a career as a writer.
- Where ideas come from, using some of his own stories as examples.
- Using a combination of experience, imagination, and research when writing.
