I’d love to visit your school or book club—I also do career day presentations! I have a PowerPoint program available that is suitable for either large assemblies or small groups. I share my artwork, writer’s journey, and demystify the publishing process including the answer to everyone’s favorite question: just how much do money do authors make? On hand are the stars of the Magic Repair Shop books—my hissing cockroaches—for students to get up close and personal with—if they dare.
“Look Who’s Talking” a hands on writing workshop covering voice and point of view is also available for individual classrooms or children’s writing groups.
“Thanks so much for coming in, it was as fun as a field trip! I loved the cockroaches and your doodles are great!” Aaron, 3rd Grade
“I really enjoyed the ghostly part of your presentation.” Juliette, 3rd Grade
