Inspirational Romance Author and Speaker
I love connecting with other writers. Since my first engagement in the fall of 2009,
I’ve enjoyed speaking to local writers groups on everything from do-it-yourself websites
to questions to ask during the agent call.
I also teach fiction workshops and, as vice-president, coordinate the monthly writing
craft workshop topics for Maumee Valley Romance Writers of America.
My favorite topics are social media, plotting, revising, queries, synopses, and setting
goals. A full list of topics is shown below, and I welcome suggestions.
I offer discounted rates for groups based in Southeast Michigan or Northwest Ohio,
and I’d be happy to discuss how to best meet your writing groups’ needs. Contact
