Tony Abbott Visit Kit
Author Visit Kit
By Tony AbbottTony Abbott has published over sixty books of science fiction, fantasy, and adventure for younger readers. Tony uses great doses of humor and the excitement of adventure to draw young people (including reluctant readers) into the pleasures of reading and writing.
A professional writer, editor, and publisher for over twenty years, Tony brings to his presentation a thorough and lively knowledge of creative writing in a variety of forms, including fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. He discusses the writing process, where stories come from, research for all types of writing, characterization, humor, dialogue, point-of-view, mood, plotting, and structure, while a slide show illustrates writing, rewriting, revision and the stages of the publishing process, from idea to published manuscript
Tony has conducted writing workshops with smaller groups of students and on-the-spot critiques of students' work in progress. A key focus of his talks is the overcoming of obstacles, rejection, and failure; he offers tips on nurturing one's imagination and turning defeat into success at one's chosen craft.
