The best-selling author and award-winning radio host brings his message of creative writing and academic success to students and parents everywhere!
Hello! Many of you have enjoyed listening to me as part of The Dom and Jane Show on Mix 100 Radio in Denver. Thank you for all of the support!
The first volume in my award-winning Galahad book series, The Comet's Curse, is now officially in stores everywhere! The Comet's Curse has already won an international grand prize from Writer's Digest magazine, and an EVVY Award for Best Young Adult Book.
A Writer Recommends: I've got a new web series on YouTube and TeacherTube, and it's all kinds of fun. Each episode features a recommendation of some sort and an answer to fan email. You can watch the most recent entries here and here.
Big Brain Club Articles: I'm pleased and honored to have a major article featured in the respected youth advocacy magazine VOYA. Click here to read all about it!
I've also penned many articles that appear exclusively at BigBrainClub.com. Most recently I posted this article that answers the question: What do Michael Phelps, Conan O'Brien and Thomas Jefferson have in common? I've also gotten great feedback on this article, which talks about some very important advice that a young man almost let slip past him.
Dom on Campus: Here's the highlight video from my visit to American Academy Charter School in Colorado. As is almost always the case, I came away impressed with the students and the faculty.
Release Dates Announced: It's official! The next two books in the Galahad series will be in bookstores in 2010. Follow this link to find out more, and click here to sign up for the Club Galahad newsletter (so that next time you'll be the first to know).
Stay in the Loop: There are so many simple ways to keep in touch with me! With just a few clicks of the mouse you can sign up for the ClubGalahad newsletter, subscribe to my YouTube Channel, and become a Facebook Fan. It's just that easy!
Lesson Plan Available for Educators: A multi-state teacher brain-trust has come up with this fantastic lesson plan for grades 5-9. It's a terrific way to get different departments working together on one big project that students love! And if you're interested, I can also visit your school as the project wraps up and talk with students about the book series, the writing process, why it's cool to be smart, and more. Contact me here to book an appearance.
Click here to read a report from the teacher who started it all. Her Rocket Kids '09 project was a huge success, and has paved the way for more schools to get in on the fun.
One of my passions is working with kids to help overcome the peer pressure they feel to dumb down. It's why I created a non-profit foundation called The Big Brain Club. The web site not only contains articles and essays for teachers and parents regarding education and literacy, but there are fun monthly writing tips and exercises for kids. Make The Big Brain Club a part of your life, and share it with others.
