“My students would simply not have books in their hands without Writers in Schools.
When I hand the books out, their first question is, ‘can I
keep this?’ The fact that they own the books goes a long way toward having them appreciate and ‘own’ the text. Most of my students have never carried a
novel home—the
author’s act of signing what they have read makes the writing, their reading and the role of language present, necessary and real in their lives—thank you
for that.”
