I do a limited number of speaking engagements every year, at creative conferences, schools, and sometimes at spiritual retreats.
Speaking topics include:
Writing a Nonfiction Book Proposal that Shines
Thinking Like a Novelist to Make Your Nonfiction Come Alive
Self-Editing: Be Your Own First Editor
Thinking like a Literary Critic to Dig Deeper in Your Writing for Children
Managing the experience of Impostor Syndrome
Helpful tools for removing roadblocks to publication
"Picture Book 101" on how to write a picture book
Self-editing strategies for writers
Engaging with the natural world to alleviate anxiety
...and much more!
I also love visiting classrooms, virtually or, when I can, in person. I've led a number of writing workshops for kids and also sometimes just visit and talk to students about what it's like to be a writer.
If you are interested in having me visit, speak to your group, or attend a digital story time, email me!
