What Others are Saying

“Children and faculty were 

delighted with the educational and 

entertaining presentation.  She 

engaged children of all ages with her 

discussion of the  writing process, and 

everyone thoroughly enjoyed her 

‘hands on’ lesson in illustration.  

I highly recommend her.”

book publishing and writing, while 

keeping the young audience engaged.  

Very interactive, as well.”
