Hi Sheri,
I’m glad to be a part of the Wordsmith Agora. I was glad you explained to me that an “agora” was “an open ‘place of assembly’ in ancient Greek city-states” (from Wikipedia).
My students and I were wordsmith’s last November when we each wrote a novel. It was a big job, so one of our greatest learnings came in the appreciation we developed for other novelists’ work.
Here is a blog post about my 8th grade novelists.

Thanks again, Sheri. I’ll look forward to joining others in this collaborative wordsmith page!
