School Visits
Depending on the age of the students and whether I’m presenting at an assembly or in a classroom, I can cover one or a combination of the following topics:
-
The life of a writer – what I really do all day, where I get ideas, how my stories get turned into books
-
Understanding debt and delayed gratification (This goes along with themes in The Limit. It is a very important and FUN presentation, which I tie into writing and achieving goals.)
-
Get excited about reading!
-
Get excited about writing!
-
Where do story ideas come from? (a classroom presentation that culminates in creating a story together)
-
Making your writing stronger (better for grades 5 and up)
Make the visit meaningful
A visit from me as an author goes over much better – and is considerably more exciting for the kids – if they are familiar with my books.
If you would like to schedule a visit, please e-mail me and we can discuss dates and my fees. Click here

The conference was great and your information was beyond helpful. Thank you.
You were incredible at the conference! I was so excited to meet you and learned quite a lot. Your revision process class blew me away. My pen couldn’t keep up with all the advice you offered. Thank you!
