Information about Mary:
Mary Calhoun Brown writes stories about things that matter to a generation that would rather be entertained than educated. Her award-winning book, There Are No Words, along with its curriculum guide, meets state content standards and objectives for fourth through eighth grades. Brown mixes her literary style with a story that appeals to both boys and girls alike. Her curriculum guide, which she gives free to educators, cuts across subject matter, integrating reading, language arts, history, writing, science, research and technology. Vocabulary words with definitions, insights into the subject matter, in-class discussion materials, writing assignments, research assignments and much needed values curriculum are all included.

Mary is a noted public speaker, often appearing at schools, in assemblies, at library association annual meetings, book festivals and book clubs. Her "Creative Writing Workshops" give students an inside look into how to improve their writing skills using a sensory approach and Youtube, which appeals even to the most reluctant writer. Teachers are never disappointed in the results from one of Mary's visits.
