Author Visits

Before turning my attention to writing and publishing Time Traveler Tours StoryApp iTineraries full time, I was a career educator.  I spent 20 years on several continents in classrooms ranging from pre-primary to university as a teacher, teacher-trainer, and mentor.

My focus of expertise: developing English language and creative writing skills. 

I loved every minute of it.

I would be delighted to visit your library, book store, community center or school to workshop with your students on:

  • Looking for Story Ideas

  • Developing Characters

  • Considering Voice & Point of View

  • Plotting & Story Arc

  • Establishing Time, Place, Setting, Scene

  • Showing, not Telling

  • Using Dialogue Effectively

  • Revising Techniques

  • Critiquing Constructively

  • All or some combination of the above

 We can discuss such topics as:

  • What Makes a Good Story

  • Killer Beginnings

  • Writing Genres: Fiction, Non-Fiction, Poetry, Blogging, Journalism, Film

  • Developing Story Worlds for Gaming and Apps

  • Adopting a Writing Discipline

Of course, if you have other ideas or specific needs, I’m happy to accommodate. We’ll basically just jump right in, roll up our sleeves and have some fun writing!
