**Jamie Linari's Writing Profile**
Byron Center West Middle School

Writer's Profile
 * Writing is a huge part of my life. I graduated from CMU’s journalism program in ’05 and wrote for magazines and newspapers for several years. I soon realized I needed something more so I went back to school a few years ago to become an English teacher. I still write for a local magazine, REVUE, in my spare time and act as their country music reporter. I love to show my students what I write and inspire them to publish their own writing.
 * A professional, a leader, a motivator, a learner, a teacher.
 * Everything I read influences my writing. Right now I am exploring many YA novels like //The Hunger Games// and //Lord of the Flies// which give me inspiration to write my own YA novel. I am also influenced by my students. I am always amazed by the imaginations that come from my 8th grade students.
 * I would like to learn more about the craft of storytelling. Most of my writing revolves around other’s stories; I would like to begin to tell my own.
