Over my career I have led and spoken at multiple writing retreats, writing workshops, writing classes, Catholic retreats, Catholic workshops, book festivals, and middle school and elementary school classrooms.

My style is upbeat, positive, and interactive to help each person listening find that “Aha!” moment of inspiration and knowledge to lead them to deepen their skill as a writer or their relationship with God, depending on the talk.

If you do not see the perfect topic for your group below, please reach out so we can discuss what you’re looking for. There is much to discuss and share that I would be happy to present to your audience!

This was GREAT and you’re a delight! Congratulations and thank you!

FOR SCHOOLS

• Book Read-Aloud – Talks on any of my books; best if the group has read the book in advance. For my picture books, we can read the books together.
• How to Make a Book – A fun and informative look at all the steps that go into writing and publishing a book. This visit supports creative writing units very well. I have gotten feedback that it sets kids to scribbling new ideas!
• No Word Is Wasted – An inspirational talk to encourage reading, writing, and persevering with creative expression. It’s about why I started writing, why I keep writing, and how you can too. No word you write will be wasted.

WONDERFUL Job, Theresa, thank YOU so much

FOR WRITERS

• Write That Book Already – A workshop designed to help bridge the gap between idea/desire and action plan, with the right tools to help aspiring authors complete their manuscripts.
• The Path to Plot – So you have an idea for a book… in this workshop learn how to turn your bowl of ideas into a clear and well-developed plot. Iron out the plot holes BEFORE you start writing!
• I Wrote a Book…Now What? – A primer on “next steps” with Traditional and Indie Publishing once you’ve completed your book.

Thank you!! So helpful!!

FOR CATHOLICS

• Seven Sorrows of Mary – Meet Our Lady as never before but meditating on her Seven Sorrows. In this guided meditation, we’ll discover that Mary’s sorrows not only offer us solace in our times of need, but also give us a way to encounter her–and her Son–in sufferings of our own.
• Sharing the Faith with Children – Insights from a Catholic children’s book author about sharing the faith with our little ones. Find out which tasks of ours are worth working hard on.

Thank you! Excellent info.
