SPEAKING
When you have a book published it doesn’t take long before someone, somewhere will ask you to speak. Being a bit shy it took me a while to warm up to that idea, but once I figured out that it wasn’t really much different than talking to a lot of friends at once it became one of my favorite things to do.
Here are a few things I enjoy talking about:
- The “Ooooh! Aaaaah!” Model for Fiction
- Play! How to Keep Your Child Heart
- Creative Problem Solving Techniques and Writing
- Writing Against the Wind
- Art and the Broken Heart
SCHOOL VISITS
I love to be in the classroom. I taught Sign Language at Furman University, am currently teaching art, and have been an educational interpreter in the public schools.
I believe the best learning comes by doing, and will come to your classroom ready to rumble.
Or, if you are located far away, I am happy to Skype with your class.
Topics to choose from are:
-My Story: Students leave with a short illustrated story
-Talk With Your Hands: Students learn a few basic Signs
-What do authors do anyway? : Students learn the basic process of writing
Contact me to book either a school visit or speaking engagement.
