Paradigm High Library had the great opportunity of listening to Brandon Mull on Nov. 3, 2009. Mr. Mull is the author of the popular series "Fablehaven". His visit was arranged through the network of Ms. Hanson, one of the English teachers at Paradigm. The students met in the library in 2 sessions and enjoyed Mr. Mull's presentation.
The following article was written by Matt Boren, from Paradigm High who attended the presentation.
Author Time
Paradigm is known for its unusual and exciting classes. Students have the option of
taking Astronomy, Leadership, and a variety of other remarkable classes. Another characteristic class of Paradigm is Novel Writing, where young aspiring authors work on their books and help each other improve.
Recently, the school arranged for none other than Brandon Mull, bestselling author of
the Fablehaven fantasy series, to come and give professional advice to aspiring novelists.
Mr. Mull gave advice about many different facets of writing a book. One of the pieces of advice he gave was to be a good observer. If you pay attention to your surroundings, you’ll better be able to describe it to someone, a useful skill in Novel Writing.
Character development and plot/conflict also featured big in his presentation.
With the advice of a bestselling author now in their mental databases, I’m sure
Paradigm will produce many great and famous authors. Thank you for your time and
wisdom, Mr. Mull!
