Writing Classes or Presentations
For Adults
Get Started in Writing for Children
Drawing on my experiences as the author of over 100 children’s books, a publishing professional, and a longtime writing teacher, this presentation (or series of presentations) introduces audience members to the exciting world of writing for children.
Writing Classes
I regularly teach writing classes for adults through a variety of community venues. You can check out my calendar page to see what classes I already have scheduled for the near future.
Book Marketing Basics
Today’s authors are required to help with the book marketing process. So in this engaging session (or series of sessions), I share the expertise I gained as a longtime marketing professional. I teach other writers some of the tips and tactics they can use to effectively market their own books. (Note: I also offer a book marketing coaching service.)
Virtual Visits
Schools
The Clue to Writing a Great Mystery
grades 3 to 7
This virtual visit is ideal for classrooms where students have had a chance to read my middle grade mystery Turn Left at the Cow. I give students clues to the elements that make up a great mystery and provide plenty of tips and tactics to allow them to tackle writing their own suspenseful stories. I also share lots of secret, behind-the-scenes details about my novel, leaving plenty of time for students to ask questions about anything that’s still a mystery to them now that they’ve turned the last page of the book!
