​I am an experienced, accomplished school speaker who spoke to over 75 elementary and middle grade schools this past year and would love to come present to your students. I can do large presentations for the entire student body, classes by grade, or smaller groups -- even book club or writing club visits. I also offer Zoom visits! 

​My presentations are perfect for students 3rd - 8th grade and are educational, motivational, and entertaining. I illustrate the importance having of a growth mindset and how short-term "failure" is an important first step to long-term success. I talk about rejection, revision, and not giving up. Starting with personal pictures and stories from my own childhood and journey as an author and ending by revealing a sneak peek behind the publishing curtain, I draw the students in, making them laugh, but also making them think. ​​
