Author Visits OVERVIEW

Where do you find ideas for your book projects? How much do your ideas change from beginning to end? What do you do when you get stuck? 



My Author visits are inspiring and interactive. I share the magic behind my work as an illustrator and author. Discover the creative journey I take to bring a book to life.  During my visits, I enthusiastically dive into topics such as:


  • How I use my idea journal 
  • How I organize my writing and
    when I do that. 
  • How my plans change from
    beginning to end. 
  • How I revise and why it's important to revise my drawing and my writing. 
  • Working with feedback from my team:
    How do I use it? When do I use it?
    Do I always use it? 


Each visit is tailored to spark your students’ curiosity and creativity, addressing their specific questions about writing and illustration. I offer engaging presentations for all age groups, from preschool to high school, ensuring every audience feels included and inspired. My goal is to empower young people to overcome creative challenges and realize their potential.
