Author Visits & Critiques
Invite me to visit!
I’d love to bring an engaging, inspiring, and interactive presentation to your school! Whether it’s a hands-on writing workshop for a small group of students, a dynamic, audience-participation-filled talk for a large assembly, or something in between, I tailor my presentations to captivate and connect with audiences of all ages.
You can learn more about the school visits I offer here. To discuss the best option for your school or event, feel free to reach out to me directly, or contact Sarah at How Now Booking. I look forward to connecting with you!
Picture Book Critiques
As a traditionally published picture book author who writes across multiple genres, I can help you polish your manuscript and make it submission-ready! With years of experience as a journalist and editor, I also offer insights into story hooks, comps and marketability to help your work stand out.
The rates below apply to non-rhyming manuscripts up to 600 words—if your manuscript is longer, feel free to contact me to discuss options. I aim to return critiques within two weeks, depending on my workload.
To get started, please contact me—I look forward to working with you!
