Ever wonder how a writer gets from an idea to a finished book?

Carol Matas, author of the very cool Freak Trilogy is writing a blog about the ups and downs of writing the final installment of the trilogy, The Freak: Book Three

It's an inside look at how a bestselling writer like Carol writes a book. Check it out at http://www.thefreak3.blogspot.com/.

Classes can also meet up with Carol on the blog to chat and have Carol answer their questions about writing and editing. If you are interested in chatting with Carol contact us for more info at kpwire@keyporter.com.

Happy Reading (and blogging)!
