Engagements & Events
Presentations, Workshops & Speaking Engagements
At heart, I am a lifelong learner. I absolutely love sharing and paying forward knowledge and experience—it’s my way to give back to the incredible writing community. I offer speaking and engagement services for everything from conference panels and educational sessions to one-on-one interview conversations.
While I’m able to present on numerous topics from concept to publication, my particular areas of expertise/experience are:
- Characterization
- Developing relationships between characters
- Immersive description/setting
- Kidlit—middle grade and young adult fiction
- Genres: contemporary, historical, speculative, fantasy
- Professional communication and industry materials
- Verbal pitching (or anything related to public speaking)
- Writing diversely—LGBTQ+ and disabled characters/stories
- Workshopping and effective feedback
- If it involves ghosts, count me in
Format
Live, synchronous online (such as Zoom), asynchronous online or self-paced courses.
Length
Anything up to two hours; for something longer, please contact me directly.
Pricing
Contact me for rates in regard to teaching/speaking events or classes; I volunteer my time to fellow authors for many collaborative situations—panels, conversations, interviews—as well as fundraising. Especially groups/events who uplift and champion marginalized authors.
