Congratulations Authors Tour authors!

Carol Muzik's book Raising Lucy - The True Story of Raising an Orphaned Wild Goose won the Mom's Choice Award in the Animal Kingdom Category for juvenile picture books! Way to go!!

And Renee Riva's newest book, Happy Camper - A Romantic Comedy, has been published in Kindle or pc format and will be out in print in two weeks - congratulations!

And just what is the Authors Tour, you ask? Since 2003, Get Lit! Programs has been sending published authors into K-12 schools within the Inland Northwest. Between January and April, writers working in a variety of genres - poets, novelists, nonfiction writers, journalists, children's authors, naturalists, and humorists - travel to rural and low-income schools. Through visits to an average of thirty schools each year, Authors Tour touches nearly 5,000 students, most of whom have never before met a "real" author. A principal from one of the participating schools said it best: "It has been an entire school generation since we last had a published author in our district."

To request an author, please contact Danielle Ward at 509-359-6977 or dwald@ewu.edu to ensure that you receive the Get Lit! Programs discounted author rate.
