Writers in School Program Presenters

Each WISP storyteller and writer has developed their own presentations for different grades and group sizes. Themes range from where ideas come from, what it is like to be a writer and may include a writing workshop or question and answer period. Please review the bios carefully to assist you with selecting a presenter that compliments your class and program. Based on feedback from schools that have participated in WISP in the past, we recommend that the number of students per presentation be limited to 40 students or the size indicated by the presenter.

Schools should identify three presenters and include any additional information that can assist the WISP Coordinator with organizing the program. Schools located within 100 km of a WISP presenter will be considered as a host. Presenter location is indicated on the WISP School Application Form.

All schools must complete and submit the WISP School Application Form by January 29th, 2010 to be considered as a host school for a WISP presenter.
