Critique and coaching service

Are you ready to make your picture book picture-perfect? 

 

Let me help you polish your manuscript until it shines like the top of the Empire State building! My picture book critique service is designed to help writers at all stages of their development – from newbies to seasoned pros.

School visits

Where do authors get their ideas? How do they turn them into books? How do you get a book published?  I love sharing my journey from story idea to publication with students of all ages and want to inspire them to write their own stories!

 

I present to students in grades K – 9 as well as to educators, librarians and families at family literacy events. My school visits are designed to work with your school’s curriculum and I can adapt my presentations to meet your school’s needs.
