If you’re looking for a writing workshop or lively discussion, contact me. I enjoy speaking to:
- Writers’ organizations and offering workshops on all aspects of writing from crafting first words to publication;
- Book clubs to discuss Carpe Diem, Illinois, God on Mayhem Street, The Devil Particle Series, and my writing process;
- Homeschoolers, unschoolers, teachers, educators, parents, students, or anyone else interested in exploring unschooling and alternative forms of education.
