Kidlit has banded together to raise money for the families who have been separated at the border. I have three things up for grabs if you donate to this great cause!
1. Auction item: Classroom Visit with Laura Lam
Either in person within Scotland (though if very far from Edinburgh, I may request assistance with travel/accommodation), or via Skype if elsewhere. Retail value is around $250.
2. Raffle prize: Signed Book ($25 and over)
Any one of my five books: Pantomime, Shadowplay, Masquerade, False Hearts, Shattered Minds. I’ll also send some bookmarks and other swag.
3. Raffle prize: Phone Call ($30 and over)
A Skype mentoring session from me, including written feedback on up to 3,500 words of creative work. My day job is as a creative writing lecturer, where I regularly mentor students on plot/structure, characterisation, world-building, and other elements of craft.
