How I Became a Writer
This presentation is appropriate for older teens and adults. It’s about facing fear and following dreams—a lesson I learned from the heroines of my favorite novels. The PowerPoint presentation delves into my journey from a dorky, lonely preteen to a world-traveling marine biologist and eventually published author. This presentation is 30 minutes, but I often get a lot of questions after.

Writing a Novel & Getting it Published
This hour long workshop + Power Point begins with a quick description of my journey to publication as well as my sources of writing inspiration (music, movies, video games, books, etc.). Then, I delve into an organic educational component that covers the basics of writing and publication (both traditional publication as well as self-publishing) and feeds on the attendees–their experience levels as well personal goals.

Young Writers Write!
This workshop is intended for ages 12-18. In addition to an extensive workshop packet detailing the basics of writing (plot, character, how to get published), I work with students on working with (or without!) outlines, writing for fun, and dealing with as well as giving external feedback from/to fellow writers. This workshop can be tailored for 1 hour to 1.5 hours, and it involves lots of interacting.
