Presented at part of The Betsy Writers for Young Readers Program, Lisa will present a workshop on writing for young adults at FIU Main Campus, Rm. CP 145.
Lisa Papademtriou, who is a NYT bestselling author of children and young adult books will be talking about her life as a former editor, her life as a writer and the persona she created (Ivana Correctya) to engage young people in a fun and exciting way to learn grammar. It's meant for students and educators to get a glimpse into the life of an immensely creative and accomplished author in the field of children and young adult literature.
This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
Lisa Papademetriou is the author of numerous books for young readers, including Sixth-Grade Glommers, Norks, and Me; How to Be a Girly Girl in Just Ten Days; the Accidentally Fabulous series; and, most recently, the Confectionately Yours series.
Her books have been named among the Best of the Year by Family Fun Magazine, the New York Public Library, and Bank Street College, and have appeared on several state award lists, including the Texas Lone Star List. Lisa has worked in an editorial capacity for Scholastic, Alloy, Harper Collins, and Disney Press, and is currently enrolled in the MFA program at Vermont College of Fine Arts.
