Skype/School Visits

 

I am available to give writing workshops or talk to groups of students on writing-related topics. Contact me at deegarretson at gmail.com to discuss.

 
 

Skype Visits

I would be happy to do free 20 minute Skype visits with classrooms or groups of homeschoolers. The 20 minutes would include:

* Short reading from one of my books (2-3 minutes)
* Discussion of the story's background (origin of the idea, research, revision, etc.)
* Revision process
* Character development or other special topics decided upon in advance
* Questions & answers
