My goal is to spread the love of reading and to inspire children to read, write and think creatively.  

​

​

Writing is fun. Characters can go anywhere, do anything, and be anyone. I want to open imaginations and encourage writing in young authors. I want to publish their stories.  The catch, Jazzy has to be mentioned in the story. 

 

I can present on topics about the writing process, illustrating picture books when you can't draw, or I can tailor a presentation to supplement what you are currently teaching in the classroom. 

 

Other topics include: 

Photo Journalism: I would be happy to talk to the photo enthusiasts at your school about photography. I have over 10 years of experience as a professional photographer. 
Self-Publishing: The ins and outs of publishing alone. 

​

Fees:

Isle of Wight County: $50.00 for one or two classroom visits. $100.00 for 3 or more classroom visits. 

Visits within the 757 area code outside of Isle of Wight County: $150.00

Virginia visits outside the 757 area: $300.00 (includes my hotel, travel, and food.) 

Visits outside of Virginia: Let's talk! 

​

I look forward to hearing from you!
