Looking for a Speaker?
If you'd like to have a great speaker for a group or instructor for a writing class or workshop, please contact me. I enjoy speaking to book clubs, library audiences, writers groups and community organizations, and sharing my enthusiasm for writing with participants. I have talks and workshops ready to deliver or I can develop one to suit your interests and needs.
