The energy was electric as students, educators, and book lovers gathered for an unforgettable Be An Author Live! webinar featuring none other than <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mattcodywrites\">Matthew Cody<\/a>, the mastermind behind Epic!\u2019s wildly popular Cat Ninja series. Hosted by <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/dhotler\">David Hotler<\/a> from Book Creator and joined by Cherish Mims from Epic, the session brought together passionate readers and some very excited young interviewers for a behind-the-scenes look at how comics, creativity, and collaboration come to life.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Behind the mask of Cat Ninja<\/h2>\n<p>David introduced Cherish from Epic, who helps bring the magic of books into classrooms across the world. Cherish\u2019s passion for literacy shone as she shared how Epic helps students build confidence as readers. She then introduced the man of the hour: Matthew Cody, who brought Cat Ninja to life and continues to expand the universe with spin-offs, science-themed adventures, and unforgettable characters.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Comics as a gateway to reading<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most powerful moments came when Matthew shared this secret: \u201cI hated reading as a kid\u2026 until I discovered comics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That passion for visual storytelling stuck with him. With Cat Ninja, he set out to create something that had action, humor, and heart\u2014something that could help today\u2019s reluctant readers fall in love with books the way he did.<\/p>\n<p>From cat superheroes to mad genius hamsters, his stories are layered with humor and emotional depth. Real-world issues like divorce are part of the narrative, helping kids feel seen while keeping them entertained.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Making comics: a team effort<\/h2>\n<p>Matthew explained how comics are a collaborative medium. He writes the script, but it\u2019s the artists\u2014like Chad Thomas\u2014who bring it to life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the best thing in the world when you see your words turned into art that\u2019s even better than what you imagined.\u201d said Cody.<\/p>\n<p>He also recently worked with a writers\u2019 room to co-create new Cat Ninja stories\u2014because writing can be lonely, and collaboration makes the process more joyful.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Superstar student Q&amp;A<\/h2>\n<p>David turned the spotlight on the real stars of the show\u2014our incredible students! Class after class joined the live call to ask Matthew their most curious, creative, and downright hilarious questions. And wow, did they deliver!<\/p>\n<p>A special shoutout to Ms. Schneider\u2019s class, who fearlessly took the mic and kept the conversation lively with their thoughtful and entertaining questions. You made it unforgettable!<\/p>\n<p>Watch the replay to hear Matthew answer fan-favorite questions like:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n \t<li>Why doesn\u2019t Cat Ninja talk?<\/li>\n \t<li>Why a hamster villain?<\/li>\n \t<li>What inspired the name \u201cCat Ninja\u201d?<\/li>\n \t<li>Will there be more books?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Advice for Young Writers<\/h2>\n<p>In closing Matthew shared golden advice for students who want to write their own stories: \u201cRead. Read. Read. That\u2019s the best writing school there is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He encouraged students to collaborate, draw their own comics, and write what excites them. \u201cWrite for yourself, your teacher, your dog\u2014just start.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<h2>Want to explore more?<\/h2>\n<p>Dive into Cat Ninja and other Epic Originals on Epic, and don\u2019t forget to remix the Cat Ninja activity books below for an even more interactive reading adventure!<\/p><\/div><div class=\"x-row e33796-e7 mq2s-3 mq2s-6 mq2s-7 mq2s-a mq2s-b\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e33796-e8 mq2s-d\"><a class=\"x-image e33796-e9 mq2s-h mq2s-i mq2s-j\" href=\"https:\/\/read.bookcreator.com\/library\/-NalXHc_E_CEL6sJ6I2R\/book\/vkA0fSWjRO-x6oMq_BriMA\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bookcreator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-26-at-5.21.25\u202fPM.png\" width=\"266\" height=\"398\" alt=\"15 Science Projects for Book Creator classrooms\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"x-col e33796-e10 mq2s-d\"><a class=\"x-image e33796-e11 mq2s-h mq2s-k mq2s-l\" href=\"https:\/\/read.bookcreator.com\/library\/-NalXHc_E_CEL6sJ6I2R\/book\/BuGmUsn0S8etbLM_uqxBFw\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bookcreator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-26-at-5.21.37\u202fPM.png\" width=\"264\" height=\"401\" alt=\"Book Creator for the High School Classroom\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"x-col e33796-e12 mq2s-d\"><a class=\"x-image e33796-e13 mq2s-h mq2s-i mq2s-l\" href=\"https:\/\/read.bookcreator.com\/library\/-NalXHc_E_CEL6sJ6I2R\/book\/HSSjm3cHS42P81Mg7wgtuQ\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bookcreator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-26-at-5.21.55\u202fPM.png\" width=\"266\" height=\"398\" alt=\"15 Social Studies Projects\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"x-col e33796-e14 mq2s-d\"><a class=\"x-image e33796-e15 mq2s-h mq2s-i mq2s-l\" href=\"https:\/\/read.bookcreator.com\/library\/-NalXHc_E_CEL6sJ6I2R\/book\/6Hp8o12lRoO-AmiEHV61rw\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bookcreator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-26-at-5.22.36\u202fPM.png\" width=\"264\" height=\"397\" alt=\"13 Math Projects for Book Creator\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-row x-hide-xs e33796-e16 mq2s-3 mq2s-5 mq2s-7 mq2s-8 mq2s-a mq2s-c\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col x-hide-xs e33796-e17 mq2s-d\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cs-content x-global-block x-global-block-28084 e33796-e18\"><div class=\"x-section e28084-e2 mlo4-0\"><div class=\"x-row e28084-e3 mlo4-1 mlo4-2\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e28084-e4 mlo4-3\"><div class=\"x-bg\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><div class=\"x-bg-layer-lower-image\" style=\" background-image: url(https:\/\/bookcreator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grey-wave-bg-optimised_2.png);
