Workshops & Signings
Readings & Signings
I am available for readings and book signings anywhere in New England, and would be happy to discuss the possibility of visits anywhere else. I would appreciate a month's advance notice in scheduling. Please CONTACT the public relations department at Clarion Books for my current schedule.
Workshops & Other Appearances
I have led a number of writing workshops, from 1-hour lectures in schools to eight-week-long round-table sessions with adults, in which I acted as a guide and facilitator. I have worked with fifth-and sixth-graders and with high-schoolers. I have discussed topics that range from "A Day in the Life of a Writer" to "Finding a Character's Voice."
I enjoy introducing young people to the excitement of storytelling with the written word. I also enjoy working with people of all ages who are seriously interested in learning to write fiction or who want to polish the skills they already have. I prefer a format where the participants actually have time to write, so I can work with them as teacher, mentor, editor, and literary critic. I use a "writers' workshop" methodology, in which everyone gets to comment, but no one gets to abuse, where criticism includes critique, but also compliments for the parts that work.
Please feel free to CONTACT ME at any time about fees, scheduling, and workshop ideas.
