“It was great to have [Alison] in the building, in person, to excite our young readers! Non-fiction isn’t always a favorite of students, but [her] books certainly are and it was refreshing to see a spark amongst the students.”
Trina Hellbusch — Elementary and Middle School Librarian
“What a wonderful selection of workshops! The students in particular really loved getting a chance to use some writing strategies that Alison shared, and then had the chance to share their stories with her. The session on the history of North America’s past works really well with the social studies curriculum for 4th graders. If students were planning on visiting Ashfall Fossil Beds, this session is a must see before their field trip. Alison was easy to get ahold of, always got back to me quickly, and was a wonderful Nebraska writer to have visited our school. Thanks so much Alison!”
Erika Hanke — Elementary School Librarian

The students were captivated by her experiences and eager to begin their own research projects.”

“I learned a ton about being an author. The main thing I learned though was to always revise! I’m now revising everything I write.” – Kylan, Student
“Dr. Stevens had all students completely engaged during her presentation, and they walked away motivated and excited to begin their research projects.”
