Speaking and Presentations

After working as a full-time university professor for seven years, I have extensive experience speaking publicly on writing, teaching, and storytelling. I have presented at the Student Success in Writing Conference in Savannah, Georgia, as well as other venues.

I specialize in compelling visual presentations that engage audiences through activities, reflection, and discussion.

Topics

  • How to craft compelling stories (fiction and nonfiction)
  • Why editing matters
  • Balancing a writing career with a day job
  • Writing historical fiction
  • Compassionate critique
  • Teaching first-year writing and research
