Sheryl to Visit New Hampshire Schools as One Book, One School Nominee
Exciting news! Sheryl Scarborough’s young adult forensic mystery To Catch a Killer (Erin Blake series, #1) was nominated by the school community for their prestigious One School, One Book programming at Newfound Regional High School and Newfound Memorial Middle School in New Hampshire.
Sheryl’s nomination will be celebrated with an interactive school visit to Newfound Regional High School that includes a forensic science demonstration and a writing lecture on Archetypes in Writing to over 500 students! Sheryl’s instructional segments can be presented in the form of a lecture or as part of an interactive workshop piece. The beauty of these lectures is they are equally effective for both teen writers and adults wishing to write for teens. They are designed to get participants actually writing within 15 minutes.

Archetype Not Stereotype Writing Lecture
Character Casting: Hollywood uses archetypes to quickly and succinctly set characters in motion. Master the archetypal relationship between the 2-character, 3-character and 5-character set-ups, as well as the different levels of classic villainy and evil.
