I received this email message from a teacher after our skype session.

"This afternoon was incredible! All 70 sixth graders were riveted to
the screen while you were talking. I can't thank you enough for all the
wonderful things you shared with us about your books and your writing
process. What a truly inspiring discussion. One really neat coincidence
was that I had just shared my writing notebook with a group of students
earlier in the morning and then you shared yours. The connections were
flying like wild fire...You have made a wonderful lasting memory for
so many students today.

Oh, and as a side note, several parents were also in the room and you
made a huge impression on them as well! We are all now anxiously
awaiting the release of your new novel!

I'd love to hear feedback from a teacher or librarian after the session. How was the sound? Picture? What worked? What could be more effective? Thanks!
