2019 Keynote Speaker:
Paul Volponi is a writer, teacher, and journalist living in New York City. He has written 12 novels. Even Paul cannot believe that he became an author as he hated reading in school and "faked" being interested to impress his ELA teacher. One of the biggest influences in his life was living next to and eventually teaching at a NYC prison. Most of his novels are based on the people he has met at the prison.
