1) TOP TEN THINGS I DID TO LAND MY FIRST PUBLISHING CONTRACT
In this fifty-minute presentation designed for all levels of pre-published writers, I share my path to publication, commenting on what things helped catapult me to my first YES! I speak about the path that led to a contract with a traditional publisher (made with an agent), as well as the book I sold on my own. You'll learn about the good, the bad, and the ugly party of the behind-the-scenes publishing path.
As always, I have a PowerPoint presentation and PowToons video to share, along with a question-and-answer session for attendees.
3) HA, HA, HOW TO ADD HUMOR TO YOUR WRITING
All stories, no matter the genre, need some levity. In this fifty-minute interactive Powerpoint presentation outlining the Top 6 methods to make your readers laugh. Participants will practice using the strategies with information from their own books. Writers go away with concrete ideas and practice samples about how to add humor to their stories. Guaranteed to make you laugh while learning how to write humorous scenes and characters without being (too) cheesy! 😀😀😀😀😀3) Book Clubs
Everyone wants to know the background scoop: how an author came up with an idea, how long it took to write, how long did it take my agent to sell it, why I had a character do the things he or she did, problems along the way. If you're within a 25 mile radius of the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, I'd love to come and chat for ninety minutes. $50 or 8 book minimum purchase.
4) YA author Panel
I'd love to be on a panel with other YA authors to talk about the process and just have a lot of fun chatting with readers. I've done this type of presentation in large settings, high schools, and middle schools.
