Epic is excited to be working with local authors to present Literacy Day events for students in both the Oklahoma City and Tulsa areas.
The afternoon will be full of reading fun! We will have authors on site to talk to our students about the writing process, publishing process, illustrations and love of reading. Students will have the opportunity to ask our author panel questions and learn more about their books and what it takes to write a book.
The authors will also be selling and autographing books!
