Books You Haven't Thought Of: Dan Alatorre's Young Authors Club

by Amanda Custin, Annabelle Newborn, Seren Larsen-Chaney

Dan Alatorre'sYoung Authors ClubBestselling Author Dan Alatorre answered the request of a friend who thought grade school children with an interest in writing would benefit from being mentored by a published author. After touring the school and conducting several presentations to various grade levels, Dan was convinced. The Young Authors Club is where children from grades three through eight could meet and work on short stories, epic fantasies, or writing exercised designed to "build their writing muscles."One thing was clear to Dan from the very beginning. "These kids are smart. They write better than I expected, and their enthusiasm is through the roof!"Several Young Authors have commenced long-style epic fantasies that will be continued over the next school year and possibly several school years-maybe into high school. Dan hopes their passion has been kindled so they take writing into college and adulthood."80% of American adults want to write a book," Dan says. "Imagine if somebody had helped them do just that when they were in grade school-create a published book in their own name, a book you can hold in your hand and say, 'I wrote this.' That lasts forever. How might their lives be changed by that?"Imagine no more.The dream has become a reality.
