Speaking

I enjoy meeting writers and readers. I’m available for readings, workshops, writer-in-residence programs, school and university visits, and  conferences, festivals, and professional development programs.

Hosting an author event is like bringing a field trip to the students — without the long lines and buses.

In content-rich presentations, I’ll talk about my books, about their inspiration and the stories behind the story. I’ll talk the work a writer does, about crafting nonfiction and fiction stories and poetry. I’ll share my passion for storytelling and my research and writing process.

I offer a variety of programs, tailored to the age of the participants. I enjoy working with my hosts in order to plan the best possible experience, one that will support and enhance the curriculum or program objectives.

An experienced teacher and presenter, I’m comfortable with reasonably-sized large groups, and I welcome teachers, administrators, and parents to view and participate in the presentation or workshop.

Please note: When an overnight stay is required, I ask for a minimum of two days. Hosts might consider piggybacking an author visit with a school or two in neighboring districts.
