New article out

Hi everyone,

The fall issue of THE MISSOURI READER just came out and I’m pleased to see the article by Mary Jo Fresch and me in it. This one springs from our new book, 7 KEYS TO RESEARCH FOR SUCCESSFUL WRITING, the same subject we’ll present this month in St. Louis at NCTE. Here’s the link: https://joom.ag/HA9W

The journal is edited by Glenda Nugent and Sam Bommarito. I look forward to sharing breakfast with them at the conference.

It’s happening in Missouri

Hi everyone,

Sometime today the Fall 2015 issue of The Missouri Reader, Vol. 39, Issue 2 comes out, just in time for the Missouri Early Learning Conference. My thanks to the editors — Julie Bryant and Jennifer Fox from Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar –for including me as their featured author. I’m told that this should be available later in the day.

The organizers of this year’s conference at Tan-Tar-A are pleased that nearly 700 people have registered, an all-time high. Today Marc Brown gives the luncheon talk and I do the reception at 4:00. In the morning Tim Rasinski gives the keynote and I do the luncheon plus morning and afternoon presentations. I look forward to seeing friends and meeting new people.
