UPCOMING EVENTS

“Circumstances and consequences are at the center of this wonderful, soul satisfying, debut novel.  Holler at the Moon is an emotional story…filled with colorful characters, plenty of drama, and mouth-dropping scandals that will keep you on the edge of your seat from the beginning to the end…A story that is hard to put down.  Brava!”


—Victoria Christopher Murray, Author of Lady Jasmine and Too Little Too Late

Tinesha Davis selected as 2010 Book-In-A-Day Fellow


WHAT IS BOOK-IN-A-DAY?

Book-in-a-Day (BID) is a non-profit, educational services company that fosters literacy skills through a groundbreaking writing and publishing workshop, which focuses on student-run publication—in one day. Educators spend hours looking for exciting ways to bring literature to life. The solution is Book-in-a-Day, a new fun-filled, hands-on literacy project that teaches students the fundamentals of creative writing, through poetry and book publication.

BID Fellows Program


This year, we are planning new and exciting programs that will further our mission of inspiring students to do the write thing. We are publishing a "Best of Book-in-a-Day" anthology, and next year we will visit other countries to spread the BID mission. In preparation of our work abroad, we have instituted, for the first time, a BID Fellows Program for writers and educators who have exhibited serious interest, and/or a commitment to, creative literacy and literary work with young adult audiences. This year, our Founding Director, Kwame Alexander, has awarded eight fellowships.

The BID Fellows program provides structured and unstructured time and space for writers and educators to develop new work, at a villa located in Montespertoli, Chianti Area, Tuscany, Italy. We are pleased to congratulate the following writers on being selected as 2010 BID Fellows in Italy, June 26-July 17, 2010:

TINESHA DAVIS—Having graduated Summa Cum Laude with dual degrees in Database Technology and Information Systems with an emphasis in programming, Tinesha authored two books that have nothing to do with engineering—a collection of poetry, All Black Girls Ain't Got Rhythm and other urban hymns, and a novel, Holler at the Moon. With these achievements she made it official: she is a writer who happens to play computer engineer by day.  Tinesha serves on the Board of Directors of the Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Foundation and is a writing coach for Book-in-a-Day.
