February 28 through March 4, Gary Anderson and Tony Romano, authors of EMC’s Expository Composition: Discovering Your Voice, are hosting the seventeenth annual William Fremd High School Writers Week. During this week-long celebration of writing, Fremd students, faculty, and staff learn about the art and craft of writing from nationally-known and local authors, as well as from Fremd student and faculty authors. Since its beginning in 1995, Writers Week has brought more than 200 writers to the Fremd campus in Palatine, Illinois.
Writer’s Week XVII guest writers include Chris Crutcher, Sierra DeMulder, Buddy Wakefield, Dave Cullen, Jonathan Eig, Billy Lombardo, Mary Fons, Julie Halpern, and Fremd alumni authors Daphne Willis ('05), Kathryn Janicek ('94), and Mark Buenning ('03).
I was lucky enough to attend a session on Writers Week presented by Gary Anderson and Tony Romano at NCTE last fall, and it was truly inspiring. To find out more about Fremd Writers Week, visit the website at http://fremdwritersweek.ning.com/.

Thanks for this shout-out! We had a lot of fun this week, and more importantly, our students learned some new ways to think about writing.
