Author Linda Urban inspires Tenacre students

Children’s author Linda Urban visited Tenacre today and spoke with students in every grade, grabbing students’ interest with her engaging presentations. She stressed the importance of listening to your heart and following your passion, no matter what people say. She used her own fear of rejection—and how she overcame it—as an example.

Urban always loved writing stories when she was in elementary school, but ended up using her writing skills in advertising and marketing in college and beyond. She spent 10 years as the marketing director of a large, independent bookstore in Southern California, before going back to her first love – stories for children. Once she got started, well, the rest is history!
