Celebrating Texas Writer’s Month – Willow Dea

POSTED BY babs ON May 17, 2011

Texas Writers Month is a month-long event in May where—you guessed it—Texas writers are celebrated. It began in 1994 as an effort to get local bookstores to feature their local authors more prominently. Since then, it has evolved into a celebration that unites the entire literary community with multiple events that take place all over the entire state.

PR by the Book has decided to use the month of May to highlight the wide variety of Texas writers that comprise our sparkling clients.

Editor Willow Dea is a writer and educational thought leader—an advocate desperately needed by young, inquisitive minds.

Both a guidebook and a story collection from multiple authors, Integral Education is the fruit of Dea’s passionate work in the integral community and has been featured on Teacher Education Quarterly, Gifted Child Today, and Childhood Education. Based on the theory of author/philosopher Ken Wilber, integral education recognizes a child’s identity as a whole unto his or herself, and as a part in a larger system, be that cultural, global, or universal.  Integral educators apply this theory to encourage both personal development and academic rigor in the classroom.

A longtime champion of emerging educational systems, Dea currently works for The Khabele School, an innovative, college preparatory school in Austin.
