Videos by Author

LaunchPad Solo for Literature includes an extensive library of great videos of influential authors discussing their work and their writing process. Students can do more than just watch them. Using the LaunchPad video annotating tools, you can annotate these videos, or ask your students to share their thoughts directly on the content.
