For the past five years, TMS students have hosted four renowned writers each year, sharing that literary experience as a school community, and offering participation to the broader Marin community. 

Led by the English 4 Honors class, our students have worked with best-selling authors like Yiyun Li, Isabel Allende, Karen Joy Fowler and Chitra Divakaruni.  Students work with staff and the authors on scheduling, then with parents and the school board on fundraising and other logistical aspects of event preparation. 

The events themselves have included a college style all day symposium on an author’s work, public readings at the Book Passage in Corte Madera and intensive workshops in creative writing.  The TMS Authors Series makes literature a living, breathing, exciting activity for our students, staff and parents and the local community.
