Author Visits

Whether it's a presentation or a writing workshop, I'd love the opportunity to meet with you and talk about everything from bugs to bones. Check out some of my current talks below--each of which can be tailored to your group's needs. 

Get Real!

This presentation focuses on the nonfiction writing process and discovering the stories behind the stories in my books.

Topics include: Identifying ideas, developing those ideas into stories, and literary techniques for adding spark and strength to writing. The talk works well with a writing workshop.
