Jon Etter

Writer, Teacher, Resident of the October Country

Almost a year ago, Whitnall Middle School was kind enough to invite me to be their writer-in-residence for a day, which included several writers workshops for the kids and presentation to all three grades. In the lead up to that day, their librarians asked if I would be willing to record a promo or two to show during their advisory period. Below is what I came up with.* I meant to post these soon after my appearance there, so, timely as ever, I’m posting them not quite a year later.

*Note to other authors making promos for school visits: If you show a cat in one of them, approximately half of the questions you get will be about the cat, especially “Did you bring him with you?;” “Why not?”; “What’s he doing right now?”; and “Seriously, why couldn’t you have brought the cat with you?”
