Services Offered

The Visit

My presentation lasts 20-30 minutes for kindergartners and first graders, 30-45 minutes for grades second through fifth. During my power point presentation, I discuss how I became a writer, the joy of reading and what motivated me to create the Putt Girl book series. I will read a few chapters from my book, discuss how to draw from life experience to create a story that is fun and engaging. I will stress the tools of good writing such as descriptive detail, action words and when to use illustrations. The children will also learn the basics of putting and will have an opportunity to practice what they have learned. I allow time at the end of each presentation for Q & A.

Number of presentations

I prefer to do no more than three presentations per day.

During the visit

I am happy to eat lunch with students and teachers to continue our conversations. In this setting I find students to be more relaxed and they ask more questions.

After the visit

I enjoy feedback. I love receiving letters from the students and teachers. Class letters are the best. Due to my schedule I find it difficult to respond to each individual letter from students but I will respond to a classroom and/or school.
