About AnnetteMG/YA Novelist & Historian Annette Laing, author of The Snipesville Chronicles series, brings an outsider/insider perspective to everything she does. A Scot raised in England, who lived in California for 14 years, and Georgia for nearly a quarter-century, Annette now divides her time between Wisconsin and all the other places she loves. A former professor of early American history, who was a tenured member of the History department and Africana Studies program at Georgia Southern University for more than a decade before resigning to write fiction, she has more than 15 years experience entertaining and enlightening the broadest of audiences throughout the United States, through her novels and presentations for ages 8 to adult. Annette is also a noted historian of African-American religion in early America.

SpeakingNot Just an Author VIsitAnnette Laing began working with young audiences in 2003. Her engaging, playful (and even joyous!) presentations encourage upper elementary and middle school students to develop their own passions. Like her books, Annette's costumed programs reflect the nuance and inclusivity of academic history, a body of work that speaks to everyone and yet (ironically) is seldom accessible to non-historians. Annette makes complex ideas not only understandable, but thoroughly engaging, for kids as young as 8.
After more than 15 years of working with kids and teens, Annette also has much to say about social studies education. Professional Development for Teachers, Keynotes, Presentations to Community Groups and Book Clubs, and even chatting one-to-one at conventions and festivals with teachers, librarians, and the public, are all part of Annette Laing's mission to engage everyone in history and historical thinking. |
