Author Visits

Catch ideas like fireflies, and write what only YOU can write... 

SCHOOL VISITS -- Elementary, Middle, High School, College  
My goal is to inspire excitement about writing, so that even before our time together has ended students are catching firefly ideas, mining their minds and hearts for ideas, and writing with enjoyment- *Spark*Spark* Spark*

I am happy to work with you to tailor a visit specifically suited to your school.  Below are three popular options:

l) Full Day Program:  Students are engaged as active participants –  talking about reading and books they love, and then writing and sharing with me.  Everyone (teachers, too) brings my FIREFLIES: A Writer's Notebook or any blank notebook.  If students read one of my featured titles (click to view) before our visit, it makes the experience more memorable.  My 20 titles span picture books through YA novels and adult memoir.  Please send book order forms to families and teachers before our visit and have copies available for sale that day.  I will happily autograph.

2) Artist-in-Residency:  Over the course of a few days/weeks, I work with a group/grade level on catching great firefly ideas and then writing and sharing, writing and sharing.  

3) Chat with the Author:  One-hour conversation about my books/writing/getting published, Q & A, signing.
