Visits
I offer book chats & skill-focused writing Q&A virtually or in-person, ages 8-adult, for classrooms, assemblies, retreats, workshops, writing clubs, and GSA groups!
Duration
40-60min for a large student body (50+)
1-2 40 min sessions for smaller groups (a single classroom or fewer)
These are tricky times.
I am in no way apologetic for being queer, trans, or neurodivergent.
That said, I appreciate teachers being (unfairly) put in the position of gathering positive, life-giving representation for their students while walking the line of book bans and local/national injustice.
I’m well-versed in the skill of showing up as my authentic self and also focusing mainly on writing skill chats, if need-be. Let me know your school’s specific approach needs, and we’ll work together there.
Sliding Scale
My author fee slides from pay-what-you-can to $400/visit, based on funding.
Privilege, inequity, and systemic injustice play a HUGE role in money availability. (I get it.) I always want to work out the fairest win-win for everyone!
(Able community members: act as planning liaisons—and foot a little gas money! If you want to support local queer students, this is a great way to do it.)
