Keynote Speeches
I am available to deliver keynote speeches at conferences, corporate events, and other gatherings. My speeches are designed to inspire and encourage audiences, and to draw attention to the meaningful ways our stories connect us. Whether you are looking for a dynamic speaker to bring energy and focus at the open of your event, or to close it out with an intimate and inspiring call to purpose, I am excited to work with you to create an unforgettable experience for your attendees.
Panel Discussions
I enjoy participating in panel discussions on a variety of topics related to writing women’s fiction, historical fiction, southern fiction, the writing process, the creative life, and my author journey. As a panelist, I bring a background as a former actor and special needs educator, as well as years of experience in leading workshops on creativity, having founded Tinderbox Writers Workshop. If you are planning a panel discussion and are looking for an engaging author to participate, please get in touch and we can discuss how I can be a benefit to your event.
Seminars & Workshops
I am passionate about the value of the innate creative life of every person and helping people find confidence to tell their stories through all medium. As a result, I offer seminars and workshops that are designed to provide both psychological and practical tools that can help people engage in creativity in their daily lives. My seminars and workshops foster a welcoming and safe environment in which to celebrate expression, and can be tailored to the specific needs of your audience, whether you are looking for a half-day workshop or a full-day seminar.
Retreats & Conferences
I am available to speak at retreats and conferences. I can deliver keynote speeches, lead seminars and workshops, and facilitate small group discussions on writing historical fiction, women’s fiction and southern fiction. Whether you are planning a weekend retreat or a week-long conference, I would be honored to be a part of your event, helping attendees connect with each other through all the forms of creative expression that allow us to tell our stories.
Book Club Meetings
NOTE: Virtual Book Club Meetings are currently being scheduled. I am currently scheduling only a select number of in-person book club visits, but I would love to hear from you for consideration! If your meeting is within a 20 minute driving radius, I’m glad to consider attending in person if my schedule allows and you may reach out through my Contact form. Otherwise, I offer virtual book club visits widely and those may be scheduled through the form below.
I am always delighted to participate in book club meetings where I can engage with readers and discuss the themes and ideas in my books. Book club meetings provide a unique opportunity to have conversations about these topics in a small group setting. If you are interested in having me participate in your book club meeting, please get in touch and we can arrange a time that works for everyone.
