LAST CALL FOR SUMMER! After TWO reschedules due to lack of interest, I do have interest, but we need 5 people to make it happen. Guests have said this is a helpful webinar. I would love to see you. *Poets who write for gen. market, consider this for pitching to universities.*

Lynda Mullaly Hunt (@LynMullalyHunt) is, like her books, one of a kind! I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with her, which offered insight into her writing journey, her life, and her open, honest personality. 📚➡️piped.video/_N6dma-DVrw Lynda Mullaly Hunt is the NYT Bestselling Author behind meaningful books like FISH IN A TREE, ONE FOR THE MURPHYS, and WISH IN A TREE, which have profoundly impacted youth around the world. And Lynda’s writing will continue to impact the world with her newest #MGLit HOW TO BUILD A MIRACLE coming out in 2027! Tune into my E Train Talks interview with Lynda and you won't regret it, whether you're an avid reader or a reluctant one. 🐠🌳➡️piped.video/_N6dma-DVrw #kidlit #authors #readers #teachers #libraries #booktwt
