Part of the How They Do It Series
Writers paint word pictures--very large word pictures--and to do that, we need every shape and size brush we can find. Author Kami Kinard visits the lecture hall today with advice on one of those brushes, and how we can make the most of our metaphors.
Kami is the author of The Boy Problem: Notes and Predictions of Tabitha Reddy (Scholastic 2014) and The Boy Project: Notes and Observations of Kara McAllister, (Scholastic 2012). Prior to the publication of her novels, she was published in some of the world’s best children’s magazines including Ladybug, Babybug, and Jack And Jill. A former educator, Kinard co-founded Kidlit Summer School Nerdy Chicks Write. She blogs year round at Nerdy Chicks Rule. She lives with her family in Beaufort SC where she teaches writing courses for children and adults.
