There is no other known way to involve students in writing, reading and a creative learning process than author lectures. Hiring a credible author who is knowledgeable and has written several reading materials, would be the best way to mentor your students. It is not even the reading materials these authors have written that makes this process meaningful. It is because meeting the experts in person makes this whole writing process, books, and talent, real to students and teachers and easily accessible. This article highlights some benefits of author visits assemblies.

Such a gathering promotes reading. After the writer opens his relationship with books to students, the students get familiar with the struggle of becoming a professional writer. In some occasions, the expert will propose reliable reading materials that the students can use to improve their reading skills to understand things better. Students are also encouraged to read more and more books.

In every student experience with various authors, they get to identify their hidden creativity or enhance it to write or see issues from a different perspective. In almost every student experience with an author, they get to understand their writing struggles and the creativity to use in writing. This helps boost student creativity.

These sessions encourage risk-taking. There are many things that our interest leads us to, but most people are always afraid to take the risk or the step of what could be a gateway to their career. Guidance and experiences from these experts motivate one to take the necessary risks to ensure they achieve their goals. Students become risk takers with their teachers, by going beyond their grade targets in assignments and exams.

They also ignite sparks in students and teachers. In any case, you should never underestimate the power of someone narrating his life story. This is something almost every writer does when he visits an institution as part of his encouragement to students or teachers. It helps jumpstart the unique abilities of learners and skills to do something he loves.

These meetings also validate teachers. Students tend to develop a selective listening trait from a teacher they are used to where they filter out what they want to hear making the teacher repeat the same thing over and over for it to sink in their minds. But with the help of an author explaining the same thing, students understand better and validate the lessons from their teachers, since they tend to take the expert more serious.

These sessions help form friendships. Interaction with different experts helps boost friendships among students, teachers, and the scribe. When the students socialize with these experts at a personal level, they build good relationships and continue seeking writing guidance from the expert even after the mentorship session. Teachers also become creative and may coach clients of the professional to enhance their creativity.

They often seek to motivate teachers and students to venture into writing. When teachers and students realize they have what it takes to become writers, they find their voice. By hearing the paths of different writers, from gathering ideas to publishing books, one is inspired to see strategies and fields to write on.
