Tom's Creative Writing Talks

In the spring of 2008 Tom began speaking about creative writing to students in Oxford County and area schools. The idea was suggested by Tracey Andrus when she interviewed Tom on the TV talkshow, "Daytime." Tracey was instrumental in setting up Tom's first creative writing talk. If you'd like Tom to come out to your school, or your child's school, and talk about the creative writing process, please send him a note from the e-mail link below. Tom does not charge a fee when speaking to students, but is more than happy to accept any kind of honorarium. E-mail Tom Ryerson HERE.

1. April 3rd 2008- Trinty Private School, Innerkip, ON. Tom spoke to Sandra        Hurley's Grade 7 and 8 class about the creative writing process, how to get        published, and his own experiences in creative writing. The class of        twenty-five students, aged twelve to fourteen, were quite receptive to what        Tom had to say. Tom was very impressed by the not only the attentiveness        of the students, but also of the questions they asked afterwards. Tom left a        copy of 'Castle Lake' with Sandra in hopes her class may study the book.        Tom's first experience of talking to a group this young went very well.
