Richard L. Stein loves to write for children. Throughout his years of teaching and work with school curricula, he promoted creative writing among K-12 students through major, voluntary projects. In the course of the multi-year effort, he read over 10,000 student works. Thus, Mr. Stein gained a keen sense of the pupils' subject interests and reading/writing abilities in the various grade levels. In order to maintain student interest in the outside-the-classroom activities, he shared stories of his own creation. With his teaching background in English, speech, and theater arts, he brings a sense of drama and passion to his work and school visits. Mr. Stein has keynoted student writer conventions, visited hundreds of classroom from preschool, Montessori, to post graduate seminars for teachers. He has only begun to mine his treasure house of story ideas gained from his years spent with the myriad student writers. He promises future stories for all levels of readers and a rich cache of characters to inhabit them
