Author Quest, August, 2014
Instructors

Johnathan Rand. So many books. So many stories. So many kids turned on to reading. At Author Quest, Johnathan Rand shares all his secrets for writing great stories, and helps campers realize their own potential. Lots of laughter, lots of stories, and regular visits from Mrs. Chillers and the Rand dogs, Lily Munster and Scooby Boo.

Ann Rowland is the Author Quest Camp Director. She keeps the engines running, and encourages campers to discover who they are as writers. She’s awake first, asleep last, and keeps one eye open in between. When she’s not at Author Quest, she’s a freelance writer.

Michal Jacot comes to us from East Tawas, MI. He’s a playwright, an illustrator, a great instructor, and a very funny man. This year at Author Quest he’ll present a writeshop called Get it in Writing. Welcome back, Michal!

We welcome back Rachel Mills, bringing her expertise in creative non-fiction writing. Rachel teaches creative writing at Northern Michigan University, and, more notably, at Author Quest! She lives in Marquette.

Kim Diment is the illustration instructor for August Author Quest. She is nationally recognized as one of the top wildlife artists in the country and is an art instructor of considerable acclaim. Author Quest is delighted to welcome Kim back again.

Who knew that such a dynamic teacher lived just up the road? John McLintock brings his passion for life, writing, and encouraging young people, to Author Quest once again. Caring and funny, John makes the walk to the Trapper’s Cabin memorable, no matter what he teaches.
