This project not only involves the four student authors, but two local artists and students in Suzanne Arnold’s junior and senior Marketing classes at Lake High School. The program is sponsored by Bill Jelen, a local author and publisher of books on Microsoft Excel. “Competition is fi erce in the publishing industry,” says Jelen. “This program gave Lake students a chance to learn about the publishing industry. I am proud to show off the talents of our Lake students.” The four authors are: Lee Galada, a junior at LHS and author of the sci-fi novel A World of Difference; Tessa Hershberger, a senior at LHS and author of Confessions of a Girl; Ashley Henneman, 2004 graduate of LHS and author of The Hearts’ Flames; and Josh Moorhead, a 2004 graduate of LHS and author of Bakers Dozen. Lake artists Megan Hawranick and Evan Middleton contributed artwork for two of the book covers. Lake High School was the pilot school in 2004 for the Fresh Writers program. The program has been expanded to several schools in 2005 and will be expanded statewide in 2006. Make plans to attend the tour kick-off on May 21st at the Hartville Marketplace to meet and support our local young authors.
