“Teachers were amazed you kept young ones engaged and participating.” “Interactive. Interesting. Informative.” —Chippewa Valley Book Festival 2019, presentation to combined 1st and 2nd graders     Storytime ages 2—1st Grade & up: a lively mix of my books, songs & rhymes focusing on love of reading. Best when limited to approx. 50 kids per session. Up to thirty minutes, depending upon age of group. Can be followed by “Ask the Author” when appropriate. Writing Craft: 2nd—5th grade students: focusing on tangible tips that kids can put into action immediately. The presentation is lively and interactive. Best when limited to one or two classrooms per session. Normally 45 minutes for larger groups, longer for focused writing activities in classrooms. Writing Craft: Teen—Adult: I LOVE working with teens and adults. I hold an MFA from Hamline University and I’m comfortable teaching all levels of writing—from picture book through YA/Adult novels. These can be focused topic or general writing sessions. Fees: Vary depending upon travel, number and type of presentation(s). Please contact me for details
