Goosebumps Webcast and Writing Contest

Posted by Ink Splot 26 Editor on October 29, 2009 11:21 AM in Authors | Goosebumps

Goosebumps_webcast If you were at the live webcast yesterday with R. L. Stine, wasn't it COOL??!! (If you missed it, you can watch the video here.) He talked about his favorite books, advice for future writers, and a starstruck moment with HIS favorite author. Plus, he revealed that he's always hated Halloween. Surprised? You'll have to watch the video replay to find out why!

R. L. Stine was really funny, and Slappy was there too, being his nasty, creepy self. Kids in the audience got to ask questions, listen to R. L. Stine tell a new HorrorLand story about a zombie canoe ride, and he made a super-exciting announcement. . .

. . . A writing contest where YOU get to be the Fright Master! R. L. Stine wrote three scary story starters for you. Choose one and finish the story. Then send it to Scholastic, and R. L. Stine and his editors will choose the winning story!

Enter the Contest

And for more about R. L. Stine, read this Kid Reporter interview where he tells where he gets his ideas.
