DIANE OWENS manages the Orion Middle School Library where she gets to hang out with two of her favorite things: middle grade books and the people who read them. She also helps young writers at the school through her participation in the Writers' Workshop class.
After publishing two middle grade novels, Diane created allwritewithme.com, an online writing community to assist and encourage young writers. The site includes tips, techniques, activities and group projects, while giving kids a safe place to post their own writing and comment on others.
Teachers and parents can find educational companion materials for Diane's books, No Ordinary Lizard and Swept Up, at allwritewithme.com. These reading and writing guides reinforce Common Core ELA Standards for grade levels 3-6. Teachers and parents can also connect with Diane and other users of the All Write with Me website at facebook.com/allwritewithme.
Diane lives in Orion, IL with her wonderful husband and son and misses living with her wonderful daughter who's grown up and moved on.
