AUTHOR VISITS
Thank you for your interest in an author visit for your school, organization, or special event. Engagement with an author brings excitement to the writing process.
My author presentations have an energetic and active approach for sharing my love of writing and illustrating with others. My goal is to inspire kids to write their own creative stories.
With my presentations, I’ll share the story behind the story by giving insights into why my unique process is different than other authors.
Visits are geared to meet the ages of the students and the objectives of the teacher(s) or organization.
The presentations generally run 30-40 minutes for kindergarten through grade 2 and 45-60 minutes for grades three through six. Individual classrooms or large presentations in a library or gym are fine.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
