SPEAKING
Workshops, summit talks, conference sessions, and key note talks
Looking for an online speaker for your author community or event?
I offer workshops and webinars for romance writing groups, RWA chapters, conferences, conventions, and other organizations.
Have a particular topic relevant to pre-published or early career romance authors in mind? I’m open to developing a custom session around your members’ interests or your event’s focus. The past workshops listed below are a good starting point for ideas.
You’ll find my bio below. To discuss a speaking engagement, contact me.
