The Art of Being Normal

It was a real privilege today for us to welcome celebrated author Lisa Williamson, by Skype, to the Wickson Library. Lisa wrote the ground-breaking book “The Art of Being Normal,” which explores teen transgender issues. She very generously gave her time to answer some thought-provoking and insightful questions from King’s pupils. The discussion ranged from Lisa’s personal inspiration to very technical issues surrounding her choices of fonts in her book.

Lisa also shared her wisdom about how to approach a career in writing and gave numerous hints and tips about how best to prepare for a career as an author. Her lasting encouragement, was however, to keep writing and reading for fun. Great advice indeed!
