T. E. Watson

T. E. Watson excels at inspiring children to read, write and expand their imagination. He comes from his heart and enthusiasm, children feel his authenticity, and this stimulates their curiosity.

He especially loves to do school presentations. His school visits are dynamic, inspiring, and creatively structured for each individual grade level. Teachers and administrators are amazed at how well he can inspire children to want to read and write.

When writing, he pulls from his own experiences as a child - he writes what he knows - yet is able to infuse his stories with a rich, imaginative narrative that his young readers can connect to and enjoy.

T.E Watson is passionate about writing and continues to develop that passion. “You must have compassion as well as passion to help those who would also like to write excellent work as it should be.”

“To motivate and excite a child to read, and keep them excited is the ultimate reward for all authors. It is our task as writers to keep the eyes of the reader glued to the words we place onto paper. To generate the imaginations that all readers have within, whether they know it or not. It is our job to bring those visions forth into a world the reader will relate to.”
