About the Colgate Young Writers' Workshop:
The Young Writers' Workshop is a one-week workshop for creative and motivated Central New York students preparing to enter grades 6-10. Their goal is to provide students with a stimulating and supportive environment in which young writers may think, imagine, and discover new ideas through the act of writing. 
About the guest author:
Previously a teacher and now a farmer raising heritage livestock in upstate New York, Shannon Delany has always been fascinated by history, myths, legends and paranormal research. In 2008 her greatly abbreviated version of 13 to Life (written in just five weeks) won the grand prize in the first-ever cell phone novel contest in the western world through Textnovel.com. She was later offered a contract by St. Martin's Press to write a book series about her cell phone novel.
