Wonderful to see that in today’s world of TV, computers, cell phones and video games, young kids still show enthusiasm for reading books and writing stories. Why not help to sponsor a Young Authors’ Day at your local elementary school?
As an author of historical fiction, I love to read the work of other contemporary writers of historical novels—particularly those who have set their story in the Victorian or Edwardian eras, which happen to be my favorites. But I have found it perhaps even more enlightening to read the work of writers who actually lived in those eras. There is so much to be learned from the great classic authors whose work never goes out of style!
