"Authors in Residence" programs bring published authors and budding student writers together in a very unique mentoring opportunity. Some authors come to school and work with their young writers on the school campus such as in the Oyster River High School program. Other authors work online with their student writers by sending e-mails.

In this program Leyla showed the students how books are made and captivated their attention when she told them about the many drafts that were necessary just for a picture book.
