Presentations
(from his website) I spend a few weeks out of each year visiting schools and libraries. It’s a good way to meet my readers, it gets me away from my tyrannical computer, and I find it personally rewarding to play a part in getting students excited about reading and writing.
I will work with large or small groups. Using my own journey and examples drawn from my novels, I talk about where ideas come from, how ideas become stories, and how stories are turned into books.
My presentations vary depending on the age of the audience, the books they have read, and the specific needs of the school, library, or conference. Some prefer that I focus on writing and idea generation, others would rather I talk about reading, some want me to discuss a particular title. Want me to talk about the importance of revision? I always do! I also do writing workshops.
I can do three 45-60 minute sessions per day, plus an autographing session.
