Most of us write every day, but do you remember the last time you created an imaginary world? We all love stories and, as Don Graves showed us, we all have a story to tell.

In his new book, Writing Unbound, author Tom Newkirk explores the value of creating worlds through fiction writing. As Tom says, “our minds were made for stories,” so he decided to sit down with high school students to hear about the fiction they write in and out of school. In these interviews you’ll hear kids read their own creative stories and talk about their writing processes.Read a transcript of this episode on the Heinemann Blog.Learn more about Tom's new book Writing Unbound at Heinemann.com or follow him on Twitter @Tom_Newkirk©Heinemann Publishing 2021See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
