Young author is selected for writer's camp


Seaton Elementary 4th grader Morgan Pierce will get a chance to attend a special summer writing camp in August hosted by author Jonathan Rand, writer of the popular Michigan Chillers mysteries for young readers.

Morgan wrote a 100-word essay to be selected for Rand's Author's Quest Writing Camp. She was accepted and will be attending the camp from August 11-14. She will stay with other writers for three nights and four days and share her writing and learn new techniques to improve her already wonderful stories.

In her essay, she expressed a desire to learn more about similes and metaphors, which will help her improve her word choice.

Morgan says she is extremely excited to be given this opportunity. She is looking forward to meeting the special guest and the attending the workshop.
