Helicon West Features Amanda Luzzader February 24

Helicon West features Amanda Luzzader Thursday, February 24th at the CacheARTS Thatcher-Young Mansion in Logan. From her website:

A.M. Luzzader is an award-winning children’s author who writes chapter books and middle grade books. She specializes in writing books for preteens. A.M.’s fantasy adventure series ‘A Mermaid in Middle Grade’ is a magical coming of age book for ages 8-12. She is also the author of the ‘Hannah Saves the World’ series, which is a children’s mystery adventure, also for ages 8-12.

A.M. decided she wanted to write fun stories for kids when she was still a kid herself. By the time she was in fourth grade, she was already writing short stories. In fifth grade, she bought a typewriter at a garage sale to put her words into print, and in sixth grade she added illustrations. Now that she has decided what she wants to be when she grows up, A.M. writes books for girls and boys full time. She was selected as the Writer of the Year in 2019-2020 by the League of Utah Writers.

A.M. is the mother of a 10-year-old and a 13-year-old who often inspire her stories. She lives with her husband and children in northern Utah. She is a devout cat person and avid reader.

A.M. Luzzader’s books are appropriate for ages 5-12. Her chapter books are intended for kindergarten to third grade, and her middle grade books are for third grade through sixth grade. Find out more about A.M., sign up to receive her newsletter, and get special offers at her website: http://www.amluzzader.com.

An open mic will follow Amanda’s reading, where attendees (in person and Zooming in) are welcome to sign up to read up to seven minutes of their own creative work.
