I love school and Skype visits! My presentations can be tailored to fit your school’s needs, but possible topics include:

Story Development: Where do story ideas come from and how can we use real events to draw readers into our fictional stories? Learn about how one of the most embarrassing moments in Jen’s life showed up in her very first novel. What did she change and what did she leave exactly the same?

Characters: What makes us love our favorite characters? What draws us in so we root for certain characters and cheer the downfall of others? Learn about what every character requires in order to capture our hearts and our minds.

Revising and Writing: What does every writer need? Hint - it’s more than a paper and pen. Learn about all the people who work hard to transform ideas into books. See how Jen approaches revisions, where she writes and, most importantly, why she writes.

Email me to learn about my schedule and rates. I'd love to come meet your students!
