Whether you’re with a library, school, book club, bookstore, or writing group, I’d love to speak at your event. With a teaching background in communication arts and writing, as well as a career in magazine and book publishing (Time Inc. and Dotdash Meredith), I enjoy engaging audiences. Let me know what you have in mind, and let’s make it happen: contact me today!
