A few words from educators and conference organizers . . ."Dee was incredible with our wide age range of students. She was able to keep the attention of even our 'squirreliest' kids and catered each presentation appropriately to each age group. Dee also graciously ate lunch with many students, signed bookmarks and books, and circulated the building with her warm presence. We highly recommend booking a visit with her!" - Kerra M., elementary school librarian "Dee's visit to Heim Elementary was such a success! All of the K-4 students were engaged and enthusiastic about her presentation. Students continue to discuss her tips for writing the plot of a story!" - Kristie F., elementary school librarian "Numerous teachers commented on how well you engaged with the kids, your illustration of the writing process, and how your years of teaching experience were evident. Your interactions were genuine and inspirational. It would be impossible to track the positive impact even a few hours with you may have on our students." - Brandon M, elementary school librarian |

Author Visits
As a former elementary teacher, a mom of two, and a PTA parent, I love visiting schools to talk about reading and writing! My visits focus on getting the most out of reading and on making writing stronger. Sessions can be adapted for grades K-8 and groups of different sizes. I do virtual visits too!
Conference organizers, I'd love to join your conference faculty!

Virtual Visits
I offer a limited number of free virtual visits via Skype or Google Hangouts. We'll get together for a fifteen to twenty minute Q&A where I'll tell the kids a little bit about being an author and answer their questions. I also offer paid virtual visits which include a 45 minute presentation. Click here for more info or to schedule a visit.
Conference Presentations
I'm also available to present at conferences on various topics, including Scrivener, writing for young readers, middle grade, querying, and the publishing path. Conference organizers, please contact me for more information.
