Library and Community Programs
It's my honor to partner with local librarians and community leaders to bring customized multi-week Write Your Own Book programs to children and communities around Massachusetts. Observing the increase in confidence, agency, and creativity that our young authors experience is truly the most incredible part of this job.
Each year this creative writing community grows! Please reach out to learn if we have a public program in your town.
Author Visits and Workshops for Schools
Designed for schools, my Write Your Own Story workshop challenges students to create their own heroes, monsters, and explore the vital question: What makes a good story? By the end they are on their way to building a world of their own. This hour-long class session is designed to spark inspiration and creativity.
Beginning in November 2024 I will be offering small group fiction workshops for adult writers.
The first workshop series is already full, but if you are interested in joining this virtual coven of awesomeness, send me a note to stay in the loop for our January 2025 session.
With creativity and collaboration, anything is possible.
If you are a teacher, librarian, or community leader who would like to bring creative writing to your local kids, please reach out. I'd love to connect with you and talk about ways to bring the joy of storytelling and creative writing to your community.
