📚✨ True Lit is back for its 11th year to bring world-class authors to Fayetteville! ✨📚
Today, students at Fayetteville High School had the incredible opportunity to interact with author Nic Stone. Nic Stone burst onto the literary scene with her debut novel, "Dear Martin," which quickly became a New York Times bestseller.
Students had the chance to hear about her journey as a novelist, gaining insight into what it takes to bring powerful stories to life. Then, a second group of aspiring writers joined Stone for a creative writing session, learning from her expertise and sharpening their own storytelling skills! ✍️💡
Thank you, Nic Stone, for inspiring our students and showing them the power of words! 💙📖
