Well known suspense and horror author Stephen King making a special trip into the school on Friday to do a writing workshop.
Teacher Sarah-Jane Smith tells Tide news the students spent the past year convincing King to come to the school. She says they sent over 1,200 persuasive letters, which King read all of. The students also made music and film projects posted to YouTube. Smith says King talked about how to make a story suspenseful, worked with them one-on-one and read their work out loud.
King is from Bangor, Maine and is known for writing The Green Mile, The Shining, The Stand, Carrie, The Dark Tower series and more.
