Today we had a wonderful day with some of the students from our room that visited the Calgary Young Writer's Conference. Students had the chance to explore many different types of sessions including how to create interesting characters, introducing interesting twists and turns in writing, how to journal for creativity, etc. We also had Marty Chan as the keynote speaker. He is the author of the novel "The Mystery of the Graffiti Ghoul" which won the 2007 Diamond Willow Award and was selected for the Edmonton Public Library’s inaugural Kids Read Edmonton campaign. He was a regular humour contributor to CBC Radio and the Edmonton Journal. He was the Edmonton Public Library’s writer-in-residence in 2011. Overall, it was a wonderful day and we hope the students in attendance had a great time and learned a lot :)
