SCHOOL AND LIBRARY VISITS
I
visit schools and libraries to talk about books, writing, revising, and the life of a writer. You may choose from a variety of standard talks listed in my brochure or we can work together on a visit that is customized for your students or other audience.
Check the On the Road page for my current calendar of events.
Recommendations available upon request.
