Writing the Human Body: Power and Positionality. One version is available here through Write Hive.
Flash Fiction - I have created several flash fiction workshops based on structure, character, point of view, revision, workshopping, and more. Workshops are generative in nature and participants can plan to leave with either several fully formed stories, or ideas and sketches for future stories. Available as one hour, ninety-minute, and two-hour workshops, and as a six-week course. I've presented flash fiction classes for the Wisconsin Writer's Association, Herstry, the Wine Country Writer's Festival, When Words Collide, Golden Crown Literary Society, Inkstacks for Writers, and more. I also have given a modified version of this workshop for high school and college creative writing classes, and both five and eight-week flash fiction courses.
Plot and Story - It is hard to have a good novel without a solid structure. One of my favorite workshops/classes involves teaching students how to follow a story structure to create the beats needed to keep a reader interested.
Self-care for Writers - I've presented this topic at several conferences. Based on my in-person and online self-love classes, this presentation is tailored to help writers focus on their own mental and physical health without sacrificing creativity.
Diversity and Inclusion in Literature - This presentation is an important exploration of the need for representation in literature. I've presented this at conferences and as one of the keynote speakers at the Library of Michigan's Conference, the Wine Country Writer's Festival, Ottawa Romance Writers, and more.
Queering Your Writing - This presentation teaches writers how to write queer characters with sensitivity and authenticity.
I have done countless author readings and panels on everything from creating conflict in fiction to injecting humor into writing and I have moderated author spotlights and panels. I am a college instructor and I have been teaching for the GCLS Writing Academy since 2015. Over the years, I have crafted a dynamic teaching style designed to allow all students to feel included and inspired.
I am available for library talks, bookstore events, and other celebrations of books and authors.
