"My favorite part about my story is that it felt like I was creating my own world." -Zaire, age 11, published TOMORROW in #WhenDutyCalls Join us tomorrow at the MLK Library, 4 PM-6 PM, to celebrate with Zaire's fellow authors as they debut this book! 826dc.org/authors-notes-…

This evening at DC Public Library was a dream! To see our 826DC authors from Brookland MS in conversation with Ron Charles all about the writing process was hands down the best panel discussion I’ve ever attended. What a way to celebrate 826DC’s collection in circulation at the library!

I can’t wait to be joining Women in the Arts (NMWA) next week for their Arts, Books and Creativity institute to share writing mentor texts from 826DC and have the chance to write and learn with participating educators! What a great way to kick off summer 😎

How cool is this?!! Grateful to have fabulous artists like Santi Casares make our student-written books so beautiful

Grateful to have had two sessions with Troy Hicks to help 826DC educators think about #GenAI and writing instruction. At its core this is an access and equity question. it’s a joy to think deeply about the potential and impacts of this tech for young writers with colleagues.

826DC is thrilled to share that the sensational Robyn Lingo will be our next #ExecutiveDirector! After an extensive nationwide search with help from our friends at Good Insight, Robyn's first day will be August 1st. We can't wait for you to meet her! 826dc.org/826dc-names-ro…

I always have a blast at 826DC’s After School Writing Lab but today was extra whimsical as I got to work a young writer who wrote a story using our Story Starter Deck that our friends at Maryland Institute College of Art (thanks Sandie Maxa!) helped us make! bonus points if you write a story in the comments

Best part of Halloween? Getting to see two of our incredible 826DC authors from Brookland MS read their work to the of DC Public Schools Office of School Improvement! Always so inspired by these incredible writers.
