Homel, David

David Homel’s goal is to help students understand where stories come from, in order that they may begin finding their own. He begins with the openings of two or three of his own novels, and branches out from there. David has found that this approach works, since it mixes specific and general issues about writing and the elements of narration.

David also writes for younger readers, ages 7 to 12, and finds that the issues of writing for adults and for kids are the same. His books have been published in a number of languages around the world, and have won several prizes.
