We’re excited to introduce you to our August Author of the Month, Thomas Z.!

What is your favorite thing you’ve written recently? Tell us a bit about it!

It would probably be the comic book! It’s about a really smart guy, who is the hero. And there’s this other guy who’s also smart and is the villain and he wants to kill the hero because the hero killed his parents because they were evil. It’s called The Mega Mecha Demon #1

What advice would you give someone writing for the first time?

If you’re feeling stuck, ask someone for help! Then you can improve what you can do.

What are three words you would use to describe 826NYC?

Good, Helpful, and Exciting!

If someone was considering joining 826NYC, what would you tell them?

It’s a great place to learn! The teachers and the volunteers help me and other students a lot. They help me get good ideas!
