Inhaltsangabe

With the signature wit and humor that have garnered him legions of fans, award-winning author Jack Gantos instructs young writers on using their “writing radar” to find story ideas in their own lives. Charting his own misadventures as an adolescent writer, Gantos inspires readers to build confidence and establish good writing habits as they create, revise, and perfect their stories. Pop-out text boxes highlight key tips, alongside dozens of Gantos's own hilarious illustrations and original stories. More than just a how-to guide, Writing Radar is a celebration of the power of storytelling and an ode to the characters who - many unwittingly - inspired Gantos's own writing career.

�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Jack Gantos has written books for all ages, from picture books and middle-grade fiction to novels for young adults and adults. His critically acclaimed works include Hole in My Life, Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key, Joey Pigza Loses Control, and Dead End in Norvelt, a Newbery Award winner. The seeds for Jack's writing career were planted in sixth grade, when he read his sister's diary and decided he could write better than she could. He begged his mother for a diary and began to collect anecdotes he overheard at school, mostly from eavesdropping outside the teachers' lounge. He now devotes his time to writing books and educational speaking. He lives with his family in Boston, Massachusetts. jackgantos.com
