Each workshop has instructional, interactive, and hands-on components.Nancer Ballard at presentation

For a list of presentations and venues, see my 2015 Curriculum Vitae.  All presentations and workshops can be custom designed for your particular organization, conference, or group.  I also have some limited  availability for writing coaching and tutoring and expect to two more slots opening in the fall of 2015.  For more information about a workshop or to inquire about coaching and presentation rates and arrangements, click here.Writing Desk
