'I was amazed at how well she presented to the kindergarteners.

Schools respond to Wendy's presentations:

Over 50 miles $1400.00 a day (plus air travel and hotel for overnight trips) Wendy also leads narrative non-fiction workshops in some grades and guides the children to write a story in that genre. Wendy shows how her work progresses from the idea, manuscript, galleys, artist's sketches, press sheets and F&G's to a finished book. Several of her students have become published authors. Wendy taught this book chapter by chapter in adult schools and colleges. An updated edition is now available on CD-Rom. Wendy has had over forty-five children's books published and has also written WRITING CHILDREN'S BOOKS: GETTING STARTED for adults and young adults. By sharing real life experiences, she hopes these entertaining and informative tales will inspire children to read books and write them. Wendy lives in Pennington, New Jersey and is available to visit your school to help children discover the joy of writing. She especially enjoys visiting schools to teach writing workshops and lead interactive presentations with children. She lives in Wisconsin with her husband and two children.Wendy Pfeffer, award winning author of many children’s books and one adult book, taught elementary school, directed a nursery school and has led writing classes for all ages.
