Marty Chan


Marty Chan came to our school to help us write suspense stories for a week.  On the first day I was shy but after awhile it got better.  I wrote three pages and I’m sure that my class mates had more or less.  He taught us games and tips on how to write a story.  It so fun I wish he could come back again.

My favourite part about Marty Chan was when he played the Lying Game.  It was where you write down four statements about yourself.  Three have to be true and one is a lie.  The goal is to try and trick the other person into picking the lie.  One of the strategies to make them believe the lie is to make it sound really true.

  2. I am glad that you enjoyed the work with Marty Chan. I think it is great to work on your writing skills with a published author. I emailed Marty and told him how much everyone enjoyed his visit. I told him that I would let him know when your stories are finished, so he could come and hear some of them.

Other books Marty Chan wrote were Something Dead and Evil Lurks in the Cemetery and It's my dad, the Bone House, Maggie's Last Dance and more. Marty Chan is my new favourite author. My favourite book Marty Chan wrote is the mystery or the Frozen Brains. I think Marty Chan is the best writer ever that I know of.
