Isn’t technology wonderful? Through the magic of Zoom (or your preferred platform), your class/group can hang out with bestselling author princess Alethea Kontis in her own home. Alethea will talk about her journey as a writer, her background in the sciences, the difficulties in publishing, writing habits, her favorite color, the libraries in her house…ask her anything! (She may even take you on a tour!)

“Alethea Kontis is a fascinating author! My middle school girls had a wonderful time discussing fairy tales, the Woodcutter sisters, and advice on surviving middle school. She is engaging, entertaining, and so much fun! I highly recommend her books and a Skype or school visit.” –LuAnn O’Hair, Middle School Reading and English, Forgan, OK

“We enjoyed having Alethea Kontis so much as a guest at our science fiction / fantasy convention that we invited her back as a Guest of Honor the next two years!  She is wonderful, participating in panels, writing workshops for young writers, and was game for whatever we asked of her.  We can’t recommend her highly enough.”  –Holly Cunningham Guest Liaison, MarsCon Inc.

My Creative Writing students (grades 9-12) really enjoyed visiting with Alethea Kontis. She shared valuable insight on her writing process and about the industry itself — and was able to field all kinds of questions from them. Her personable demeanor and fun energy make her a natural hit with teens. They also really loved reading her books! ~Angélique Jamail, TX
