Hamilton Heights Middle School is pleased to welcome young adult author Aaron Galvin, who will be speaking with students in grades 6 through 8 on Tuesday, March 20.
Galvin
An Indiana native and graduate of Ball State University’s Telecommunications: News Journalism program, Galvin has written two young adult book series (Vengeance Trilogy, Salted Series), and he was recently named a Top 50 semi-finalist in the Academy of Motion Pictures Nicholl Fellowship screenplay competition for the adaptation of his middle grade novel of the same title, The Grave of Lainey Grace.
Galvin, also an accomplished actor, has worked in everything from Hollywood blockbusters to starring in dozens of indie films and commercials. He is an enthusiastic speaker who excites students about reading by sharing personal stories and creative tips he has developed during his career as a working writer and in the film industry.
“We are thrilled to have Aaron back to HHMS,” said Emily Beechler, Media Specialist, Hamilton Heights Middle School. “During his visit several years ago, he was engaging, inspirational and really resonated with many of our students. It is exciting to have this local celebrity return to share up close and personal what can happen when you don’t give up on your dreams.”
Galvin currently lives in Southern California with his family.
