For more than a decade, I’ve been speaking on the topic of “preserving one’s memories through memoir.” I also occasionally give talks on self-publishing.

Guest speaking engagements across North Florida include:  Advent Christian Village, Dowling Park; Delta Kappa Gamma (Florida District II meeting in Middleburg, FL); Gainesville Woman’s Club; Haile Plantation Friday Friends; local chapters of the Philanthropic Educational Organization (PEO) International; Writers Alliance of Gainesville (WAG); University of Florida’s Museum Nights at the Harn; Matheson History Museum‘s Scribes of the Sunshine State; and Alachua County Library’s Local Author Showcase.

Workshops

My memoir writing workshops meet for an hour or two each week for four weeks.
