Workshops and presentations on various aspects of writing and/or career-life issues generally last from 2-3 hours but can be as short as 90 minutes or combined and expanded to encompass a full day retreat. Many presentations and workshops include power point and audio or video components, and most come with handouts. Each workshop has instructional, interactive, and hands-on components.

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.
