Events Report: Kathi Appelt & Rita Williams-Garcia at The Writing Barn & BookPeople

Compiled by Cynthia Leitich Smith

Highlights of summer included a visit to Austin by two dear friends and coleagues New York City author Rita Williams-Garcia and College Station author Kathi Appelt. While in town, they taught a full-novel workshop at The Writing Barn and teamed up for an event at BookPeople.

Greg Leitich Smith and I also had the opportunity to visit with workshop students at The Barn
