School & Library Visits

I'd love to visit your school or library!

 

I host engaging workshops and assembly presentations about a variety of writing- and publishing-related topics. 

 

I also offer free 20 min. virtual visits for classrooms and libraries.

Discussion Guides 

Complete with journal activities, games, and discussion questions, these guides can be used in classrooms, small counseling groups, and book groups for kids to develop empathy and a deeper understanding of themselves and each other.

Take a Virtual Walking Tour

Here are some photos that inspired Just Under the Clouds. I took them in Brooklyn, where the novel is set. Do you recognize any of these images from the book?
