“Smart, hilarious, and life-changing, in writing and beyond.”

Hello there! I’m currently booking 2013 speaking engagements. Note to Eurofolks: I will be based out of Barcelona March 15 to June 15, so visiting you in that window will be a breeze! 

Here’s my schedule so far: 

Ghent University, Belgium. Spring 2013 (exact date and time TBA).

Stanford University Continuing Studies ”Making Writing Fun Again” two-day workshop. July 20 and 27, 2013. 

Johnson County Public Library, Kansas City. Fall, 2013 (exact date and time TBA).

I love giving talks that make people laugh and feel inspired. I want everyone to walk out of the room knowing they have the power to do amazing things. Which they do.

I can give a variety of talks and will happily customize them to your needs. Potential topics include the curious benefits of high-velocity writing, surviving the novel revision process, unlocking happiness through creativity, National Novel Writing Month, kids and teens as writers, and the process of founding and growing a next-generation nonprofit.

I’ve given keynotes and talks at the European Writing Centers Association conference, Writers Digest Conference, O’Reilly Tools of Change For Publishing Conference, the Fall for the Book Festival, Facebook, Microsoft, MIT, Stanford University, and many other fine institutions. 

If you’d like me come give a talk at your festival, conference, university, company, or family reunion, please drop me a line with your event date and budget. We’ll get the ball rolling!
