Mentor Texts for Writers Resources

If you follow this blog, you know that I spend a lot of time talking about using mentor texts to teach young people how to write. But really, it will work for us “old” writers as well.

Mentor Text for Writers Webinar

Last week, I did a webinar on how to use mentor texts to improve your writing. Kristen Fulton, nonfiction writer and tireless leader of writers, does monthly webinars through our WOW Nonfiction Picture Book group. If you are at all interested in writing nonfiction for kids, you MUST join. Many thanks for her patience in walking me through the technology glitches I was experiencing.

If you are interested in watching the webinar and/or interested in the resources I provided for the webinar, you can find all of them at my Mentor Texts for Writers page.

Character-Driven Pictures Books as Mentor Texts

If you’ve noticed, a lot of agents and editors are looking for character-driven picture books. I decided to study these more intently. My guest post including printables is over at Alayne Kay Christian’s blog.

I have also archived my printables from that guest post at this page on my blog.
