I speak with curious writers and editors of all experience levels at conferences, online summits, and on podcasts. My goal is to make writing and editing kidlit more accessible to participants. My presentations and talks are at the intersection of my knowledge and experience in the kidlit market, the publishing industry, and childhood literacy development.
