When was the last time a visiting author really connected with your kids--listening to them, inspiring them, and working with them to dramatically improve the quality of their writing and their confidence?

How many published authors not only enthusiastically share their work in assemblies and get everyone giggling, but also know kids well and can teach--working closely and comfortably with the children in hands-on workshops, inspiring them to be better writers?

That's what I do best.

I am also an experienced elementary teacher. I have created a dynamic school program--single or multi-day--that is extremely successful in getting elementary-aged kids revved-up about writing, through poetry.

As I hope you'll read in the next few pages, many kids and educators across the U.S. and in England have confirmed that I write and perform poems, and run classroom workshops that kids sit still for, and get very excited about! I seem to be having a lasting, positive impact on children's writing--which is always our challenge, as teachers.

I hope you'll take a moment to evaluate the details of my program and consider inviting me to be a visiting author for a very full day or more to your school. Check out some testimonials and my calendar on following pages. Zoom back to my poems anytime to hear a few!
