What's YOUR Story?

Are you planning ahead for a year of student writing? You might want to look for my book What's Your Story? A Young Person's Guide to Writing Fiction. In reviewing it, School Library Journal said: “Newbery Honor medalist Bauer provides mentoring and practical and technical advice in this handy how-to book. By systematically exploring the components of fiction—plot, character, point of view, dialogue, beginnings and endings, and story tension, she shows how a story works and how to create one. … This honest guide will be as useful to teachers as to young writers.”
