This week's classes are loosely structured around "the craft of writing" - what does it take to get a manuscript published? What kinds of routines do authors establish for themselves? How do you know when a piece is done? With that in mind, we welcomed children's book author Clémentine Beauvais, creator of the Sesame Seade Mystery series: Sleuth on Skates (2013) and the upcoming Gargoyles Gone AWOL and Scam on the Cam. Fortunately, Clémentine is just as hilarious and engaging in person as she is on the page, and students were treated to discussions on the significance of place while establishing a narrative (Clémentine's books are set in Cambridge) and the logistics of getting published, from manuscript to bookshelf.
Thank you, Clémentine!
