Writer’s block.

We all suffer from the dreaded writer’s block at some point.

What should I write about? Where does an author find ideas? These questions have frustrated writers of all ages.

Invite award-winning children’s author Steven Krasner into your school to offer answers to these and many more questions about becoming an author and about writing, in general.

Listen to how the idea for "Have A Nice Nap, Humphrey" came to Steve, as he prefers to be called, while sitting on an airplane 30,000 feet in the air.

Or how the idea for "Play Ball Like the Pros," which won a Parents’ Choice Silver Award in 2002, came to Steve, also a sports writer for the Providence (RI) Journal, while watching his son playing baseball with his friends.

And why wouldn’t you call it "Cow Juice" instead of milk?

Using his books, Steve will talk about the differences in writing fiction and non-fiction, offering hands-on examples of the process, from revision and editing to the final product.

The question-and-answer portion of the visit will be entertaining and filled with anecdotes about writing children’s books, and also about his experiences as a baseball writer covering the Boston Red Sox for the Providence Journal.
