SUMMARY:Strive Publishing Gala Celebrates African-American Authors\, St Paul\, Aug. 16\, 2018
DESCRIPTION:Strive Publishing will host a gala to celebrate diversity in children’s literature\, spotlighting its three founding authors\, on Thursday\, August 16\, 2018\, 6–10 PM Central. The semi-formal event will take place at the historic James J. Hill Center\, 80 W 4th St\, St Paul\, Minnesota. \nGala attendees will have the opportunity to talk with Strive Publishing’s three founding authors: Ricardo G. Peters\, author of the YA novel Under the Cloven Sky; Linda S. Miller\, author of the picture book Isaiah’s Sunglasses; and Donna Gingery\, author of the picture book Red’s Adventures: The Egg Pie. \nStrive Publishing’s mission is to publish African-American picture books and young adult novels with contemporary and relatable stories from African-American communities. Founder and CEO Mary Taris says she wants to promote and create avenues for emerging African-American writers\, to affirm stories with culturally-authentic voices and inspire readers to achieve their dreams for generations to come. \n\n\n“My hopes for the gala are rooted in community partnerships\,” says Taris. “I want the work of Strive Publishing—the children’s books and the incredible authors—to inspire a determination in foundations and corporations to help us get contemporary books by and about African Americans into the hands of children.” \nThe 6 PM social hour will feature Batume & Company performing traditional live jazz. Dinner begins at 7 PM\, with keynote speaker Nichole C. Salaam\, president of LNC Strategic Designs\, and special guest speaker Jesse Ross\, associate area director for Young Life. The program is followed by an evening of dancing\, with music provided by DJ Erick Goodlow. \nTickets are $50 per seat or $300 for a table of eight\, available for purchase at Eventbrite. Seating is limited. \n*As a fellow publisher member of the Independent Book Publishers Association\, Midwest Independent Publishing Association\, and Minnesota Book Publishers Roundtable\, Elva Resa is helping to spread the word about this event because we believe there is a need for more culturally-authentic books for children. Elva Resa does not benefit from the promotion of gala tickets nor from the sales of Strive Publishing books.

SUMMARY:Barnes Shares Column-Writing Insights at National High School Journalism Convention
DESCRIPTION:Terri Barnes\, Elva Resa’s senior editor and the creator of a popular and long-running column in Stars and Stripes\, spoke to a room full of student journalists who filled the seats and sat in the aisles to hear about the importance of columns in news publications and the craft of column-writing. \nBarnes led a workshop called “Becoming A Columnist” at the Spring National High School Journalism Convention in San Francisco \, California\, April 14\, 2018. She also served alongside other journalists and educators as a judge for the Write-Off Contest at the convention\, which is co-sponsored by the Journalist Education Association and the National Scholastic Press Association. With more than 4\,000 delegates from hundreds of schools\, the JEA/NSPA convention is the largest gathering of student journalists in the country. \n“I was so impressed by the caliber of writing I saw in some of the contest entries and by the thoughtful questions that came from the workshop\,” says Barnes. “As well as column-writing\, we talked about the Florida students who reported first-hand about the Parkland shooting and the importance of a free press in a free nation.” \nBarnes is the author of Spouse Calls: Messages From a Military Life\, a collection of her newspaper columns. \nIn the workshop\, she read excerpts from her own work and other columnists after opening the session by reading an excerpt from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. Barnes says Carroll’s word play and use of riddles and questions provide excellent opportunities to talk to writers about word choice and asking questions. She has spoken to many groups about writing\, including students from grade school to university level\, both in the US and overseas.
