Julie Chibbaro, author of Deadly, will talk about the writing process, and how she writes historical fiction. She will tell how her idea for her latest novel was born, and the challenges of using real science and real people in her work.
In this presentation, students will be taken back to New York City in 1906, where they will follow an epidemic of typhoid fever. Through the diary of 16-year-old Prudence Galewski, they’ll find out how one girl helped solve one of the greatest medical mysteries of the twentieth century and learn the story of the infamous ‘Typhoid Mary.’ Using photos and writing prompts, Julie will show students how to write their own diaries, and how to think about history as a living story that will one day become theirs. Students will even have a chance to get a jumpstart on their own diairies through an interactive writing exercise! Discussion and a question and answer session will round out this exciting interactive author event!
MAGPI is pleased to partner with JKS Communications to bring our members this exciting event.
