I enjoy meeting readers and writers in person as much as I enjoy writing for them. If you’re planning an event, a class or a broadcast, I’d be glad to hear from you.

Who I speak with
Writing groups and conferences, libraries and book clubs, schools, colleges and universities, business and leadership teams, community organizations, and podcast, radio and newspaper interviewers.

Topics
I can speak on how manipulation and dark psychology work and how you can protect yourself from them; building mental flexibility, resilience and clarity; highly sensitive people and the strengths of sensitivity; how artificial intelligence is changing the way you think; practical leadership for managers; financial literacy for everyday investors; and the craft of writing, editing and getting published, drawing on hundreds of interviews with authors. I’m happy to tailor a talk to your audience.

Formats
Keynotes, talks, hands-on workshops, panel discussions, author visits and interviews, in person in the Cedar Rapids area or online anywhere.

Fees
Fees vary by event; many community talks or interviews are free.

Tell me about your event, your audience and your dates, and we’ll find something that fits.
