My first school visit!

I'm on my way to the parentals for Thanksgiving, but I thought I'd post about the wonderful school visit I had recently:

Finally, I had the opportunity to speak to two awesome groups at Boston College High School, thanks to their amazing librarian, Tia Esposito. Here I am with her and some of the students. Thanks for a great time!

“Marley, thank you so much for coming to Boston College High School. What an amazing experience for my students! The middle school students were fascinated by the reading you gave from a cemetery scene in your book. I loved how you had them laughing at some points and sitting on the edge of their seats at others. The high school students from our AP Composition classes who are interested in pursuing careers in writing really appreciated the honest and open question and answer session you had with them about the business of writing. Teachers are still talking about the author who came to the library and had the kids “so excited about books!” The buzz from your visit is still in the air! It was wonderful!” -- Tia Esposito, Library Director, Boston College High School

“Ms. Gibson’s visit was so cool!” -- Arrupe Middle School Student

“Ms. Gibson’s talk was interesting and informative about the writing process with a paranormal twist. I loved it!” -- BC High Student

If you would like for me to come speak at your library or your school, please let me know by contacting me at marley.h.gibson AT gmail DOT com.

Hugs,
