Anastasia Suen, Author
Dallas/Fort Worth Area
The author of 114 books, I started teaching elementary school in 1977. I taught kindergarten ESL, first, fifth and sixth grades.
In 1995 I began working as a children's literature consultant. I've reviewed books, selected literature for textbook programs, edited manuscripts, and created website content.
After my children's books were published in 1997 I went back to the classroom as a visiting author. (Today I also visit schools via webcam!)
At the college level, I co-taught children's literature in the library school at the University of North Texas. Today I teach writing at Southern Methodist University, for Staff Development for Educators and online.

I teach ten online workshops from January to December. All of the workshops are self-paced.
An online workshop does not have a physical meeting place or classroom hours. That makes my workshops "international." I have had students from every continent except Antarctica!
After you sign up, I will email you the workshop lessons. Just click reply to email me about the books you read or to send in your manuscript. I will reply to your email that afternoon or the next day.
(I write in the morning and teach in the afternoon Monday through Friday.)
