Teachers and librarians:
I'm available for school and library visits. I've met with middle and high school English classrooms, book clubs, writing groups, and Battle of the Books events in-person and via Zoom/Skype, locally and out-of-state.
I speak about my journey from social worker to author, the creation of
The Art of Holding On and Letting Go
, and the influences that continue to shape my writing. I also lead customizable writing workshops for adults and teens.
For high school English classes and teen/adult writing workshops
, I lead a
"comparing the drafts"
exercise, showing how the first chapter of my novel changed from submission to publication via multiple rounds of revision/editing. I share the most valuable technique I learned from my editor that took my writing to the next level.
I also lead poetry workshops
. Sports poems are a relatable entry point into poetry for teens. This workshop uses writing prompts and examples from my rock climbing novel (
The Art of Holding On and Letting Go
) and the anthology
Rhyme & Rhythm: Poems for Student Athletes
.
Here's a
school news article
written by a student reporter about my author visit to Gull Lake Schools.
Here's an
article at Book Riot
by a school librarian about the value of author visits.
I also lead
Creative Writing Workshops for Social Workers
and other helping professionals.
