Interested in having a published author come to your classroom or school?
I am available to visit classrooms in the Portland, Oregon metro area.
I have a B.A. in Elementary Education and a M.S. in Curriculum and Instruction, both from the University of Oregon. I was also a fourth grade teacher for Beaverton Schools for more than seven years. In addition to writing five books, I have written about 250 articles as a freelance writer for The Oregonian.
My books are written for adults but I have years of experience in teaching, motivating and inspiring young students to write essays, creative stories, poetry, and expository papers.
I would be happy to bring my smile to your classroom and talk about how I come up with my ideas for my books and how I develop characters and storylines. I will also discuss how I pace my books, edit drafts, create dialogue, incorporate effective settings and word choices, and the process of publishing.
I will talk with your students about what they need to do to become writers (read, read, read, write, write, write, every day) and I will have your students complete their own writing activity.
Reasonable rates...:)
