A published author is coming to visit Dominion on September 22nd. Len Cooper, who writes memoirs, will come to visit Ms. Yousefzadeh’s 11th grade English classes to do a read-aloud and talk about his time working with The Washington Post.

Mr. Cooper, who will be visiting Dominion for the first time, is doing so as a favor to Ms. Yousefzadeh, who has illustrated his books in the past. Cooper and Yousefzadeh are longtime family friends–she has known him for three years, and her father has known him for 25. Ms. Yousefzadeh– Ms. Y, as she is called by students–hopes he will be able to impart wisdom upon the class about “what the writing process is like and how it feels to have someone critique your work.”
