Sign up for a high-energy, lightning-fast, and collaborative writing workshop led by published author, Sara Fujimura!
Do you suffer from writer’s block? Learn how to get unstuck by using music to paint vivid pictures in your brain. From techno to classical to movie theme songs, Sara has music guaranteed to inspire even the most petulant of muses. You'll also create a soundtrack representing the different stages of your life to help you reconnect with your past and mine it for story gems.
Sara Fujimura (Foo-gee-moo-rah) is the American half of her bicultural Japanese-American family and spends about a month each summer in Japan with her now-adult children. She started as a journalist, so it is no surprise that Sara’s young adult books contain a lot of facts to go along with the fiction. Whether you want to know about Japan (TANABATA WISH), the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918 (BREATHE), what it’s like to be an Olympic-caliber skater (EVERY REASON WE SHOULDN’T), or how unscripted television works (FAKING REALITY), Sara takes readers on swoony journeys to unusual places. She is a creative writing teacher and literacy advocate who is excited to support the next generation of authors. If you go to anime cons, you may also see Sara as her alter ego, The Obento Lady. She is an active member of SCBWI.
EVERY REASON WE SHOULDN’T was named an NPR Best Book of 2020.
