I love speaking at schools, libraries, writer’s conferences, book festivals, and librarian events!
Below are some of the presentations and workshops that I offer. Please contact me for availability and pricing.
Also, please note that due to my teaching commitments, I am currently taking on an extremely limited number of speaking engagements (weekends only).
