Who better to study a book with than the person who wrote it? The Author Series brings authors and readers together in live, small, online classes, turning authors into teachers, readers into students, and texts into dialogues.
Here’s how it works:
- Students engage in a course of study based one particular text.
- The class meets regularly for online sessions.
- Students can ask questions on the material.
- The author usually does a presentation in each session followed by Q&A.
-
Great discussions are had by all and students walk away with a deeper understanding of the material.
Recommended for: ages 18 and up
(Younger students may enroll with parent permission)
