Galand Nuchols recently returned from visiting schools in Gurdon, Arkansas, Sikeston Missouri, Blytheville, Arkansas and Quinlan, Texas. She presented mini writing workshops to 4th through 8th grade students speaking on character development, using strong verbs, editing, and research.
Galand shared parts of her books, Dragons for Kris, Dragon Hatchling, and Second Chance explaining how she had to write and rewrite different parts of the books.
The children asked questions about things that really happened and where she got her ideas for different scenes.
The teachers and principals gave positive reviews of the program. Galand and the children enjoyed the exercises.
When Galand returned home, a package of letters from children in Blytheville was waiting for her. It made her day.
