I am a teaching artist with COMPAS, an arts education organization in Minnesota. My residency description can be found here. My residencies last for one week; they are intense, they are productive, but most of all, they are fun. I’m a big believer in writing a lot, and the kids oblige. I operate across genres, across theme and in multiple forms, and we have a blast doing it.
If, however, you are interested in having me visit your classroom for a single day to talk to your students about the life of a writer, the creation of books and the power of stories, I’m happy to speak with you about that as well. You may email me directly at kelly@kellybarnhill.com, or you may contact the school-visit-scheduling folks at Little, Brown: lbvisits@aol.com.
